Reference

API field

Direct projection, low beam

The plane beam under which the direct projection leaves the beam unshaded

What it is

Selects whether the direct projection shades the beam and the circumsolar light on a timestep with under 5 W/m² of beam on the plane.

Typical values and how to get it

Chosen on the Model tab.

Values

Shaded at any beam = none (default): the beam and the circumsolar are shaded on every timestep · Unshaded under 5 W/m² of beam = beam_5_wm2: the beam and the circumsolar are not shaded on a timestep with under 5 W/m² of beam on the plane
