Hello everybody

i want to create some Radiometers. i put following linie into the fds-
file.

&DEVC ID='RADI4', QUANTITY='RADIOMETER', XYZ=1.20,0.60,0.40, IOR=-3/

and i get this mistake back

ERROR: Reposition DEVC No. 4 FDS cannot determine which boundary cell
to assign. But the Radiometer is exactly on an corner from one cell

Your obstructions might have shifted to conform to the grid. Make sure
that if your device moves upwards from the point (1.2,0.6,0.4) it will
hit a solid.

the obstrution under the DEVC is by 1.2,0.6,0.3. or must the DEVC lie
exactly on the obstruction. i want to messure the radiation from other
surfaces to this obstruction

IOR = -3 is a downward pointing device. So if DEVC = x,y,0.4 and OBST
is x,y,0.3 FDS will not find the OBST as it looks above the DEVC.
