Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] CONVEX surfaces question



Hi, 

For dealing with non-convex surfaces who have to make sure that all the surfaces (horizontal/vertical) are rectangular. For ex. if you have a surface which is L shape than you have to divide it into two rectangular surfaces, to make it understandable by E+. On visualizing your IDF in a CAD software or Openstudio, you must be seeing non-rectangular surfaces having many line in between. No prob. Just subdivide all those surfaces into rectangular surfaces. That should be fine. 

Hope this helps.

Hello again guy. I am simulating the geometry of a 3 floor building and the I am receiving this
"DetermineShadowingCombinations: Surface="7E9FD3" is a casting surface and is non-convex
Severe  ** DetermineShadowingCombinations: Surface="5CBB90" is a casting surface and is non-convex  through the
error file. I changed the whole solar distribution option from full exterior and interior to just full exterior. 
but the problem is not solved. Do you have any solution?

thank you
