EMS Actuator no change in mass flow rate.

edit

Hi,

I'm trying to control both the setpoint temperature and the mass flow rate of a 5 zone HVAC system. You find the IDF here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hjnx....

I can change and the supply setpoint temperature and the overall supply mass flow rate, but I cannot change the individual zone mass flow rate.

Looking at the EDD file I see that for each zone I can use those actuators but none of them makes the change in the zone mass flow rate.

SPACE1-1 OUT NODE

How can I solve this issue?
