The ADELINE Design Process: Input Material Properties (PLINK)


One of the main tasks of PLINK is to associate photometric properties with each component of the model built with "Scribe Modeller".

A material data base has been created in PLINK which includes opaque surfaces (concrete, bricks, wood, metal, paintings,... ), and transparent or translucent surfaces (large choice of glass or plastic materials).

The data base includes more than 200 materials, and 100 photometries can be used simultaneously for one simulation.

To facilitate the use of the data base, materials are identified by their standard denomination, and a colour sample set is available.
