</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I'd like to know if there is a maximum number of surfaces (walls, windows,..) for TRNBUILD/Type 56? If yes, what is the maximum? I found an old thread saying that the max number is 999, but... maybe it's related
 to an older version ? I'm using TRNSYS 17.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"> I ask also because I have currently a model with more than 999 surfaces, and so far I could import it in TRNBUILD, but I didn't try yet a TRNSYS simulation... Should I expect a crash ??<u></u><u></u></p>
