Project Air Density in Wasp 10

[HPJ]

Hi,

unfortunately I don't have the time to figure this out right now, but I really need a small script that sets the project air density to whatever the most top-level wtg selected table is using. It's a pain having to change the project air density to match the power curve as it is always the power curve that is correct.

Is the project density used for anything?

Hello HPJ.

Sorry I didn't reply earlier to your post.

There were complicated reasons which made it easier for us to have the air density as a project level setting, rather than using the WTG table selection. I can't quite remember what they were, though. Sorry if that's inconvenient, but it made it possible to introduce the change sooner.

I can give you some pointers about how that script would work.

If you have a reference to the project (IWaspProject), then you can use the property AsIRveaConfigurable, which will typecast the reference to an IRveaConfigurable interface. From this, you can retrieve the Configuration (interface: IRveaConfiguration). That'll let you get the parameter.

Set Parameter = Project.AsIRveaConfigurable.Configuration.ParameterByID(TheID)

TheID you need for this is "ROHFORPD". Hint: you can see the IDs in the parameter dictionary in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Risoe National Laboratory\Parameters\

When you've got the parameter, you can simply set the value
Parameter.Value = Wtg.SelectedPerformanceTable.AirDensity

Hope that this is helpful.

(I'm trying desperately to make time to finish adding the WAsP scripting interfaces to the RveaScripting documentation CHM. Hope to achieve that this month.)

Thanks Duncan.

I'll try tinkering with it.

If you're finally adding Wasp tp the documentation, please don't worry about anything I write in here; just keep at the documentation ;-)

Thanks again.

This is great news! I thought this was way beyond the horizon.

Hi Folks,

Sorry to disappoint, but I am simply trying to find time to make a dump of the API declarations to the documentation: not to do a full explanatory job on the API itself. I know it's pathetic, but it's all we can do at this stage.
