      The command that can be used to scale View factors to 1.0 is vfsm. A coarse meshed model may not sum to 1.0 but it is perfect enclosure so we force the sum to be 1.0 vfsm,define,4,2 would force sum = 1.0 and reciprocity is enforced for enclosure 4. Just an example. So it you will force to be perfect, I like to use option 2. You can then search for “smoothing” in the solution information (solve.out) and it will tell you what it did.
