The requirement that a zone be convex is only important if you are
going to use the "detailed models" of internal radiation
distribution. If you plan to use the default radiation distribution
(in which radiation is either distributed according to surface area
or according to the values you set using the GEOSURF keyword) then
you need not worry about the shape of the zone. I would recommend
that you only use the detailed internal radiation distribution mode
for "troublesome" zones such as atria and highly glazed zones. In
this case those zones should be convex.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<p class="p1">Hi everyone! </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I'm a beginner in trnsys and
i'm trying to make my building model in Sketchup with TRNSYS3d.
The TRNSYS3d tutorial say that <span class="s1"> thermal zones
must be convex, not concave. But my building has many concave
zones, how can I model them?</span></p>

very much for your help</span></p>
