Error: The delta between the FMU stop and start time must be a multiple of 86400

Hii there!

Does anyone maybe knows and can tell me how and where to fix this error: 

fmi2EnterInitializationMode: The delta between the FMU stop time 3,0000000 and the FMU start time 0,0000000 must be a multiple of 86400. This is required by EnergyPlus. The current delta is 3,0000000. Instantiation of in_AC5 failed.

Thx in advance and looking forward!
