Complementing Kyle's answer: there may be cases where OpenStudio indeed does not load ddy DesignDay definitions, although you have specified a valid ddy file path to a ddy file. The reason is that the ddy file does not contain valid DesignDay definitions (or any such definitions). In this case OpenStudio also does not show the ddy file path as accepted.
As a recent example I observed this problem with a ddy file for Sant Ana John Wayne Airport (CA), which did not contain DesignDay definitions.
