[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: How to draw curved surfaces in EnergyPlus
Hello Amrita,
EnergyPlus surfaces must be planar and cannot be curved. If you try to draw a curved surface in SketchUp using the Legacy OpenStudio plug-in, it will automatically change it to multiple planar surfaces. Take note that EnergyPlus run time will slow down if your model includes many surfaces, so try to represent the curved surface with the least amount of planar surfaces that you feel comfortable with for accuracy purposes.
Hope that helps,
Aaron Boranian
