Is there a way to simulate AC on dry mode?

I want to simulate AC running on dry mode in openstudio. And make it controlled by humidistat. But whenever I remove thermostat, the simulation always resulting in severe error.

This is quite a common issue in hotel project in area where humidity is high, so they need to control it buy running the AC to prevent furniture damage by molds. So some management make it running all the time whenever the room is unoccupied, but since standard indoor AC doesn't have humidistat, they can't control it more efficiently. Its just an open loop control. Many room management system specialist propose additional humidistat for the AC, so the AC only run whenever humidity is above 70%.

I want to simulate this conditions, to predict how efficient this operation is.

Please help, thank you!
