[EnergyPlus_Support] Help, please....

["cmsoliveira2004" <cmsoliveira@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've just start to use energy plus so i've made an example to 
practice... Although i haven't specified several information (such 
as nodes, thermostats, etc) when i run the simulation i get 64 
severe errors refering to the geometry.

The errors are:

"** Severe  ** Problem in interior solar distribution calculation 
(CHKBKS)
   **   ~~~   **    Solar Distribution = FullInteriorExterior will 
not work in Zone=ZONA 02
   **   ~~~   **    because vertex 1 of back surface=ZONA 02 - 1º 
ANDAR - JANELA 05 is in front of receiving surface=ZONA 02 - 1º 
ANDAR - PAREDE 05
   **   ~~~   **    (Dot Product indictor=58.0890)
   **   ~~~   **    Check surface geometry; if OK, use Solar 
Distribution = FullExterior instead."

I've checked the geometry and seems to be ok, and if i remove the 
windows i only get 4 warnings, and no severe error.

What am i doing wrong??

I've uploaded the file, with the name Projecto12.idf.

Thanx in advance
