Hello,

I have a little problem to find out certain surface in my model, which has something wrong and causes Warning/Severe/Fatal messages during simulation.

At the beginning of heating design appears list of errors, for example:

** Severe ** GetSurfaceData: Zero or negative surface area, Surface=R_10060_1_33

The question is, how to find proper surface?

Best Regards
Daniel Adamovsky

Hi Daniel

You shouldn't normally see this type of error so it would be very helpful to us if you could upload the model to the support forum so we can find out what's causing it.

Regards

Steve

So, I tried to use current beta version of Design Builder and the above mentioned problem haven’t appeared.
Transfer from 1.1.6 version to 1.2 beta version required only minor changes of Activity settings in the model.

Hi Daniel

Yes, I was just about to reply and let you know that this problem doesn't appear in the most recent version but you got there first!
