Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] How to draw curved surfaces in EnergyPlus



I'm pretty sure that OpenStudio / SketchUp can do that for you and am sure that DesignBuilder can do it.  (They let you draw a curved surface in the interface, then carve the surface up do EnergyPlus can work with it.)

If you want to have curved surfaces, you will have to subdivide them into polygons. Surfaces cannot be curved in EnergyPlus.

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to draw curved surfaces in EnergyPlus? I am trying to draw curved overhangs but there (Shading:Zone:Detailed) I can only give co-ordinates for the vertices. Please help.

Thank you,
Amrita Ghosh

Everyone has cracks. That's how the light gets in. Who knew cracks could be an asset?
