[EnergyPlus_Support] maximum zones number and surfaces number in eplus v1.4

[Horta Pedro <pedrorta@xxxxxxxxx>]

dear all,

i'm trying to simulate a multistorey building which presents significant internal zone definition diferences between the different storeys.
the building has a total of 15 storeys, which brings the the doubt on wether eplus (v.1.4, the one i'm using) has some zones number limitation or surfaces number limitation.
after concluding one of the storeys, it had 35 zones and around 350 surfaces. for the 15 storeys this will go to around 500 zones and 5000 surfaces. and yes, it is already simplified (the next step would be to oversimplify, perhaps to obtain unrealistic results).
will i have any problems (beside constructing it...)?
does a more recent version overcomes eventual limitations of v1.4?
thank you

pedro
