Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Simulation errors





Hi
 
I have changed all the coordinates surfaces. The coordinate 2 by the coord. 4 and it does not work.
 
Now i get the follows errors:
 
Program Version,EnergyPlus 6.0.0.023, 24/02/2011 05:03 p.m.,IDD_Version 6.0.0.023
   ** Warning ** Floor Tilt=0.0, much less than expected tilt of 180, for Surface=FLOOR DOWN, in Zone=ZONE_2
   ** Warning ** Floor Tilt=90.0, much less than expected tilt of 180, for Surface=VOID SPACE SOUTH, in Zone=ZONE_2
   ** Severe  ** GetSurfaces: Outward facing angle [280.0] of subsurface="WINDOWS SOUTH" significantly different than

The next ones are the surfaces that i am using:

You have probably specified a counter-clockwise vertex order (as viewed from outside - below the slab for a floor). So switch the order of your floor coordinates to flip it upside down. Make sure you move the semi-colon (;) to the last line and all other lines end with a comma (,).

BuildingSurface:Detailed,FLOORUP, Floor, SLAB, Zone_2,Outdoors, ,SunExposed,WindExposed, 0.2, 4,
4.20000, 7.00000, 3.00000,

Hi everyone.
 
I got the following errors:
 
   ** Warning ** Floor Tilt=0.0, much less than expected tilt of 180, for Surface=FLOOR UP, in Zone=ZONE_2

This is the surface description:

I do not have any idea what is going wrong, does anyone can help me please?

 

 

 

Thanks a lot
