Site Data Service

The ObjSiteDataService provides access to functionality related to Site Data objects. Site data objects can have different purposes:

Purposes of the site data object

Name of purpose	Description
SdPurpUndef	not defined
SdPurpAtlas	ATLAS service
SdPurpWasp	for WAsP calculation
SdPurpStatgen	for statistical wind climate STATGEN
SdPurpResource	for wind resource map
SdPurpCFD	for CFD calculation

Site data objects need to be linked to calculations that require them, for example STATGEN. Terrain and roughness maps can be linked to the site data object. Properties of the object can be found here TApiObjSiteData. In the following a few examples are given how to use this service.
