Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: non-convex warning

The difference between your two models is that the "big roof" is a "receiving surface" (it'll get shaded but the bulkhead zone) only in one case, the one where you get the warnings

The warning is pretty clear on that point too: "DetermineShadowingCombinations: Surface="OBJ:0159" is a receiving surface and is non-convex"

No bulkhead, no warnings:

Bulkhead = warning

corresponding to the previous Email... Attached you can find another IDF file. This model has also 2 zone  with approximately same plan, floor area and zone volume. from the point of non-convex definition, the roofs are not convex. However, when I run this file , I do not receive any non-convex warning . 

if the main cause of "non-convex warning" is related to the shape of the roof, why I am not reported about this problem while I run this IDF file.

Would you please consider this file. 

.. Um... Is it very serous to fix the non-convex warning?  I mean....,  can I rely of the result of the model simulation if I do not fix this warning?  

Or, Is it  enough to cut the roofs into convex shape ( not the zone)? 

Thank you so much.

Best,

Tilak
