The Zone Window Transmitted Solar Radiation Rate doesn't change when window is open while modeling an operable window. It remains the same as a closed window with a given SHGC Value. What changes should I make in my model ?

I am modeling a naturally ventilated building. I need to know the exact solar radiation entering the zone when the window is open. However, I discovered that the solar radiation entering the room doesn't change when the window is open. What changes should I make in my model to get this to work ?

Thank you
