How do you expect the program to calculate air flow from one side of a single zone to another side of a single zone through an "internal door"? The zone by definition is only one air node. You need to create multiple zones.
E+ will accept zone internal constructions and they will contribute to the internal mass, surface-surface radiation exchange and surface-zoneair convection exchange...but be very careful how infalling solar radiation is handled and what calculation model you are using (FullInteriorAndExteriorwithReflections?).
Hope this gives some insight,

Dear community
I built a single zone model of a single-family home with two storeys. Now I would like to introduce a Airflow Network.
Whenever I try to introduce a door in the interior walls, I receive the error `... adiabatic surfaces cannot have windows or doors.' or in some cases energyplus even crashes. I tried using different types of walls and doors but no luck so far. Do I have to use a multizone model in order to make an AirFlowNetwork work with interior doors? Or do you know any other way? Could you send me a model for reference?
Energyplus comes with a couple of single zone example files, but none of them has an interior door.
Best regards,
Niko.
