Result types (Shadow Overlay)

The Shadow Overlay performs complex calculations and can generate multiple types of results per timeframe. A timeframe in the Shadow Overlay corresponds to a date and time for which a result will be calculated. This date and time will be relative to the project's time zone.

List of Result Types

Icon	Result type	Unit	Mode	Description
	FOLIAGE	fraction	Start	The initial and optional calculated foliage height, depending on the source of the foliage height.
	SHADE	boolean	Date-Time	Indicates whether a cell is in the shade or not based on sun ray calculations.

Result types can differ in the kind of data they display and in what way that data is recorded. A result type can be monitoring the data in one of the following ways:

• Start: The data is determined at the start of the simulation, and does not change over the course of multiple time steps.
• Date-Time: The data is dependent on the timestep, which corresponds to a date and time.
