SyntheticWeather

Clear days: a daily cycle of the outdoor temperature, the sun from the solar position

FastSmoothBuildings.Examples.BaseClasses.SyntheticWeather, model (source)

The weather of clear days, without a weather file: the outdoor temperature follows a sine around TMea, warmest at 15:00; the direct irradiance is on while the sun is above the horizon (a smooth step of the cosine of the zenith angle computed by BoundaryConditions.Weather), the diffuse and global irradiances follow the cosine of the zenith angle.
