Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: non-planar



Hello,

Thank you very much for the answer. I know that I'll get a deviation in the calculation results, but I talked about this with my tutor and he said it would be ok, when the non-planar surfaces wouldn't end in a great error.

But I don't realy understand your sentence about User to User Forum. If I said something wrong or in a rude way please excuse me, that wasn't my intention. My English isn't very well and so the messages maybe sounds different as I think it sounds.

Best regards,

 

Bernd

Remember this is now a user-to-user forum.

Yes, you can likely ignore these small out of plane diifferences.

But it's your thesis, not mine.

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
