Here is a very good example

Even if you don't use OpenStudio, you'll get the idea of what needs to be done.

This topic has been discussed very recently. Its also a good idea to search the forum as common issues are usually discussed before.
However, following is the solution to non-convex surfaces:
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.

Dear All,
I am getting following error while running my simulation. Program runs successfully without termination though. How shall i overcome this?
** Severe ** DetermineShadowingCombinations: There are 14 surfaces which are casting surfaces and are non-convex.** ~~~ ** ...Shadowing values may be inaccurate. Check .shd report file for more surface shading details
Thanks in Advance!--
