Is it possible to generate zone equipment hourly cooling or heating rate if there are some"Temperature-Too-High" warnings about Plant Loop in OpenStudio ?

In my OS model, I used water to water heat pump to supply zone equipment with hot or chilled water. In cooling seasons, fan coils were used as zone terminals; in heating seasons, low temperature radiant systems were used as zone terminals. The simulations were run smoothly but with some warnings, some of them are temperatures too high in Plant Loop or in low temperature radiant system. I added output variables measure and intended to check fan coil hourly cooling rate and radiant system hourly heating rate, however it failed. What's the possible reason? Was it because of these warnings or the capacity of my heat pump too high(My heat pump was set to 33.3Kw while my model max load was only 15Kw)? I don't know why i can't attach my models here.Could anybody help out. It's very urgent thank you guys very much.
