Tree - [source code]
Represents a tree as a porous zone for wind blocking (Darcy-Forchheimer). Feed into the wind case component.
Input
| Name | Nickname | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Geometry | Geo | Tree/vegetation geometry (one per tree for correct sizing). | Geometry |
| Type | Crown density class (sets the Darcy-Forchheimer coefficients): Coarse, Medium or Dense — or a species from the shared vegetation library (same LAD and foliage Cd the Outdoor+ Vegetation Region and LBM engines use for that label, so one pick models the same tree in every engine). Wired text still works — the class keywords, a species label, or custom B and A coefficient triples on two lines. A wired LAI wins over the class. | Text | |
| LAI | Leaf Area Index. Typical: 2 (sparse) to 6 (dense). Wins over Type when wired. | Number |
