Hi,<div><br></div><div>I'm getting a strange error in a fairly small model that I'm working in:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">
---</div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><div> The CFC file ..\zones/Class2_1.cfc not sure if door1 is a complex fenestration constr. </div><div> Check your zone files. </div>
</div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">---</div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Several of these error lines come up when I enter the simulation menu.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">I'm using the CFC model for some windows. At first I had it applied to six windows and the model was running fine and results were good. However, after changing some of the CFC surfaces and adding four more windows to other zones (which didn't have any CFC surfaces previously), these errors started to appear and the simulations either don't run or return no results.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">The strangest part is that the surface (in the example above is "door1") does not belong to that zone (in the above example Class2_1). Also, the other error lines, which are mostly repetitions of this message but referring different zones and/or surfaces, all seem to refer to surfaces in a specific zone (Class1_1).</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><br></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif">I tried to find if the files have any obvious mistake or corrupt data (using Notepad++) but I can't find anything wrong with them. All the zones are correctly bound, the connections and attributions are correct, even the vertices' order on the surfaces is correct, following the correct order and starting with an horizontal edge… I tried checking everything I could think of but to no avail.</font></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">So, as a last resort, I'm turning to the ESP-r community and asking if any of you as ever found this error and if there is any known cause and solution for it. If not, does anyone have any idea of what should I do or check next?</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Thanks in advance for any help.</div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">
