system

# load a Radiance folder

# in this case we are loading the folder from sample folder in radiance folder repository
# you can download it from here
# https://github.com/ladybug-tools/radiance-folder-structure/tree/master/project_folder
from honeybee_radiance_folder import Folder

# get input files for static scene
for f in folder.model.static_nonaperture_files(black_out=False, rel_path=True):

model\static\opaque\indoor\partition.mat
model\static\opaque\indoor\partition.rad
model\static\nonopaque\indoor\partition_glass.mat

# and finally get the dynamic aperture - south window in this case
# and check each state
for count, ap in enumerate(folder.model.dynamic_aperture(interior=False)):
