oh... the bulkhead!!! Thank you.
Is it enough to cut the roofs into convex shapes without divining zone into smaller zones .
Also, Based on the previous reply, my zone is too big. Does it cause any problems? I mean: should I divide the zone to smaller zones
Thank you very much for your time and help.

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"

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
