how to load the DDY file at the EP idf editor

Hello everyone!

When I run a simulation through the EP idf editor I load the .idf file and the .epw file. My .idf already contains the .ddy data for NYC (it was given to me like that). However, when I run the simulation for a different location I only change the weather file (.epw file). I would like to change the .ddy file too so the idf file has the information for the new geographical location.

-How does EP work with the .ddy file of the weather file? -Should I copy and paste all the content of the .ddy file into the .idf file?

Thank you very much in advance.
