Hello,__._,_.___
I have a similar problem like it is described below. I'm designing a
building with a complex geometry and so I have non planar surfaces
between the ceiling and the façade. How far will this effect the
simulation? Or can I ignore these minimal (between 0,137 and 1,505mm)
non-planar surfaces? I'm asking, because it would be very difficult to
straighten this out (for example divide them up into triangles),
because the surfaces are part of a thermal activated concrete ceiling.
Thank you for help.
Best regards,
Bernd Worm
