2016-12-08 09:24:29 -0500 | asked a question | How to set the minimum distance for collinear points ? In the Engineering Reference from energy plus we can get information about Surface Geometry:
I have surface with dimension of 2 m x 0.009 m (9 mm). When I run the simulation I got this warning: * Warning * GetVertices: Distance between two vertices < .01, possibly coincident. for Surface=ZONE_4_SRF_1, in Zone=ZONE_4 * ~~~ * Vertex [2]=(-1.00,-2.00,0.00) * ~~~ * Vertex [1]=(-1.00,-2.00,9.00E-003) * ~~~ * Dropping Vertex [2]. * Warning * GetVertices: Distance between two vertices < .01, possibly coincident. for Surface=ZONE_4_SRF_1, in Zone=ZONE_4 * ~~~ * Vertex [3]=(1.00,-2.00,9.00E-003) * ~~~ * Vertex [2]=(1.00,-2.00,0.00) * ~~~ * Cannot Drop Vertex [3]; Number of Surface Sides at minimum. This surface is now a degenerate surface. . . . So, Is it possible to change the setting of minimum distance to avoid collinear points ? When I read the reference I thought the minimum surface is 1 mm because it will be collinear points if less than that distance, but it already became collinear points because Distance between two vertices < .01 (10 mm). Or 10 mm is the minimum surface in Energy Plus model? Thank you very much. |
