gmori New Member mo Join Date: May 2022 Posts: 24 Rep Power: 3	Hello, everyone. I am trying to do an analysis using sunLoad, including solar radiation. I would like to perform a steady-state analysis under certain solar radiation conditions at a certain date and time, but I don't know how to describe the SunDirection set in the solarLoadCoeffs of radiationProperties. For example, if I want to place the sun at an azimuth angle of 10 degrees and an altitude of 60 degrees on the xy-axis plane with the x-axis plus direction as south, how should I describe the sunDirection?
