Thread-topic: [EnergyPlus_Support] Sphere Building

I would suggest that you simplify your geometry to a geodesic shape made up of flat surfaces. While Sketchup will make a sphere, it does not do a good job of making connected surfaces from the sphere. The hardest part is just getting the geometry drawn, after which it is only a collection of surfaces for EnergyPlus

Hello, everyone!

EnergyPlus could simulate a sphere format building, like a planetarium dome?

Thanks a lot!

Paulo Roberto.
