time steps in energy plus?

Hi

I am using ConductionFiniteDifference method as the HeatBalanceAlgorithm. when I assign 1min, 2min or3min time steps, the results are different. But when I go higher (like 15min or 20min), the results are metered and reported in 3min time step. what is the limitation that E+ doesn't produce the results in bigger time steps. (When I use the TransferFunction method, there is no limitation in timesteps)
