How to use EnergyPlus Weather Converter to split global radiation?

I’m actually have some difficulties to use the Weather Converter to split the global into direct normal and diffuse horizontal values.

I read on the Auxiliary Programs document and on Unmet hours on these posts:

Unfortunately, I didn’t understand how to proceed.

In my case, I have global values from an external file and I want to split it with the Weather Converter.

Someone has an easier way to explain how to proceed?

You need to create a .def file that will match a csv file in which you have your data. One of the DataElements will be Global Horizontal Radiation.

Hi Julien, do you know how to actually make this work ? Because I tried your suggestion and it does not work for me. See my post here : https://unmethours.com/question/37988... Thanks !!
