Dragonfly

ADDON. Version 1.0.0. Released on 2020. Provides 53 components. Created by Antonello Di Nunzio & Chris Mackey. Features 0 video tutorials.
Dragonfly allows users to model large-scale climate phenomena such as urban heat island. Dragonfly intends to make many large-scale climate variables accessible to CAD interfaces and the other insects of Ladybug Tools.
