Dear Charles,

in the tools folder is an Excel Spread Sheet "CreateClimateFiles.xls".
Insert there at least hourly data for one year for Temp and RH and export a WAC-File. This file can be used in WUFI

If you did not change the predefined installation folder, it is:
C:\program files\IBP-Software\Tools

Dear Users and Administrator,

I'm a new user of WUFI.
I would like to create a WAC-File with the tool CreatClimaFile. I want to implement temperature and relative humidity but also Solar radiation. I don't know how WUFI can understand in which column it has to read the appropriate datas.

For example, if I write pressure or solar radiation values in 3rd column, how WUFI can read the appropiriate data and use it for the simulation?

ph D. thesis

Dear mr Kehrer,
I will do some calculations using turkish climatic datas wıth Wufi program due to my Ph D. I bought lisenced Wufi 2D-3,2 version for this aim. But in this version, ı just fill in climatic datas as .kli files. But this is not enough for me. I have to prepare .wac files. I looked your internet sites about your .wac file. As I understood in pro version I can prepare wac file. and I guess that in my version this is not possible. I can not pay extra money for Wufi-pro. this work will help to the science and it can be usefull for training. Is ıt possible to have without money this version.

thanks, ı will be happy if you can help us. If ı can not achieve this, my Ph D will not go on, I will stop it.

The File CreateClimateFile.xls can be found in the WUFI Tools folder (normally "C:\Program Files\IBP-Software\Tools")
