[EnergyPlus_Support] Non-convex Zones

["dgerome06" <derochejerome@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,
with the beta version 6.0.0.037 i have a new error message  that doesnt appear with the last version :

 ** Severe  ** DetermineShadowingCombinations: Surface="TOITURE SALLE" is a receiving surface and is non-convex.
 **   ~~~   ** ...Shadowing values may be inaccurate. Check .shd report file for more surface shading details

I have read that this message could be linked with the SolarDistribution which was FullInterior and Exterior. The guide drive to change with FullExterior what i have done. But the message persists.

Does i have to divise my non convex zone into multiple convex zones?
Is it the only solution?

Thanks
