[esp-r] Re: "Found surface attribute... ANOTHER" and Changing Names for Constructions

[Achim.geissler]

Hi Ian

if you have a grep utility on windows, search your .geo files for the
offending "Another". 

grep -ni "Another" *.geo

Somewhere there will be a surface defined with Another in the .geo but not
in .cnn.

for Constructions

 Hello ESP-r,
1) I have the following Error Message: "A model with inconsistent surface
topology attributes might fail when simulated. Found surface attribute...
ANOTHER" error message appears when I activate the "simulation".
Background: I am working with an apartment building (currently 15 zones)
designed in ESP-r 11.9 windows native version.   - In the model management
option I have loaded a copied version of the construction database.- I then
deleted unnecessary constructions in the database. - This change cause many
contiguity errors so I used the  “Clear ALL CONTIGUITY” option
and then automatically re-created (several times) all the connection /
contiguity.- The connections in the "cnn" file looks correct but ESP-r threw
up a long list of many "Duplicates Surfaces  master list" and problems with
the "Zone surface  master list" etc... - So, I went in the individual zones
and manually re-re-created the all the  boundaries "surface in another
zone" connections / contiguities that ESP-r automatically created. This
manual intervention has eliminated the list of errors except for the one
listed above. 
I can run the simulation without any further apparent errors. Any ideas of
how to eliminate this "Found surface attribute... ANOTHER" error? I have
looked at the QA report but I do not see anything that would cause this
error. 
2) Changing Names for Construction Geometries - I created a new wall
construction of pure concrete called “IntnaWallCav” in the
constructions database. I assigned this construction to the walls in my
model. For some unknown reason when I now exit the respective zone this
walls at times change to a construction called “rete”. There is
no item in the construction  database called “rete”. The thermal
properties and construction of “IntnaWallCav”
and “rete” are exactly the same. Does ESP-r change the
construction name “IntnaWallCav” to “rete”
because “IntnaWallCav” is too long?  Any other ideas?
