[esp-r] Re: Errors: 'matching contig' & 'not defined'

[Jon Hand]

Another thing that I noticed - check that surface names are unique in each zone
(no duplicate surface names with a zone).  It is ok to have a 'floor' in zone_a and a 'floor' in zone_b
but not to have two surfaces named 'floor' in zone_a.

Subject: [esp-r]  Errors: 'matching contig' & 'not defined'

Hi,

When I open my model in ESP-r I get an error message saying 'Model topology (surface connections) is inconsistent.' The error details are at the end of this e-mail.

When I open Topology I get: Topology list dangerously inconsistent. Suggest you clear the current topology!

I think this is because I have not yet attributed any boundary conditions but I want to make sure that this is not due to any errors in 'Geometry & attribution'.

My plan is to first enter all the geometric data along with construction attributes and define the boundary conditions for all surfaces of all zones right at the end.

This, however, I can only do if I am sure that the errors result from the absent boundary conditions. How should I proceed?
