I am running one of the example files: AirflowWindowsAndBetweenGlassShades.idf. The simulation produces results only for the two design days specified in the IDF file. The file has no _SimulationControl_ object. I also could not see any object in it that controls the simulation parameters in another way.
I specify the outputs as
Output:Variable,*,Zone Mean Air Temperature,Hourly;
Output:Variable,*,Site Outdoor Air Drybulb Temperature,Hourly;
The outputs in the CSV file are only for the two design days (48 rows). I provide a full weather file that I use with my other simulations with no problem. What could it be in the IDF file that instructs the simulation to run opnly for design days.
I run the simulation using the python API and this is the output I get in spyder:

Would anyone be able to tell me why EP does not do an annual simulation for this IDF example file?
