Possible bug in TimeStep in Openstudio 2.9.0
I have just notice that parameter Timestep in the OpenStudio settings is not being used in the simulation. For example, if I choose 6, this step is ok in the .osm file:
OS:Timestep,
{210f49e8-ab04-4b81-b6fd-0fac6eeadcbc}, !- Handle
6; !- Number of Timesteps per Hour
But in the in.idf file it will always remain 4:
Timestep,
4; !- Number of Timesteps per Hour
Am I missing something?
I need to modify this value because I am using custom weather data with subhourly values. I guess the only workaround is to write a energyplus measure to modify this value.
Do you have other measures in your workflow? I know that the Timestep object is modified by things like tariff measures that need a specific timestep interval for demand widows.
I would check what @Eric Ringold suggests. There was an old issue where GUI showed different default value than was used if not specifically entered, but that was fixed in 2016. https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/is...
