Scott's answer is correct. I would also add that if the two IDFs are identical and the simulation engine version of E+ is the same, the results will be identical. Comparing across versions of E+ is probably not your use case, though.

Scott's answer is correct. correct, and diffing IDFs/OSMs is a good idea. Diffing OSMs can get messy because of the handle strings for the objects, so diffing IDFs is probably preferrable. I would also add that if the two IDFs are identical and the simulation engine version of E+ is the same, same, the results will be identical. Comparing across versions of E+ is probably not your use case, though.
