PVCollada

PVCollada uses the COLLADA standard to describe photovoltaic (PV) power systems.

PVCollada 2.0

PVCollada 2.0 is based on COLLADA 1.5. A PVCollada 2.0 document must be a valid COLLADA 1.5 document.

PVCollada 2.0 uses COLLADA's elements to provide PV-specific elements that describe the physical components and the electrical and mechanical relationships among these components. PVCollada elements are located in <technique="pvcollada_20"> structures. PVCollada 2.0 documents can include custom elements in other structures.

PVCollada 1.4.1

PVCollada 1.4.1 is a modification of the COLLADA 1.4.1 schema. A PVCollada 1.4.1 document is not a valid COLLADA document. Modifications from COLLADA 1.4.1 are:

  1. The following are optional in PVCollada 1.4.1, but required in COLLADA 1.4.1.
    <COLLADA><asset><created> (type: xs:dateTime)
    <COLLADA><asset><modified> (type: xs:dateTime)
  1. The following are string type in PVCollada 1.4.1 but are required to be type xs:ID and xs:NCName, respectively, in COLLADA 1.4.1.
    <COLLADA><library_visual_scenes><visual_scene><id>
    <COLLADA><library_visual_scenes><visual_scene><name>
  1. PVCollada 1.4.1 adds the following elements:
    <COLLADA><library_geometries><geometry><mesh><frame_parameters>
        <xs:element name="frame_parameters" minOccurs="0">
            <xs:complexType>
