How to Use "Group of Input Files" in EP-Launch?

Hello everyone.

I want to analyze how energy performance varies by location by keeping the IDF model fixed and applying multiple EPW weather files.

Based on the Auxiliary Programs manual, I followed the steps under the "Group of Input Files" section: 1. "New Group of Simulations" 2. Select an IDF 3. Select multiple EPW files 4. Save the group file (.epg) 5. Simulate Group

In the History tab, I reviewed the results (e.g., .csv files), but all the outputs appear to be the same. Did I miss something? I really appreciate any insights or suggestions. Thank you!
