Internal gains detailed DesignBuilder

I am using the detailed internal gains mode to enter each piece of equipment by zone to make my simulation more accurate. The problem is that once the equipment is entered, the heat gain results for the kitchen, computers, or any other equipment are not shown, but they are for equipment in the “lighting” category. I have looked in model options for anything that might be interfering, but I can’t find the reason why my equipment is not being considered. Please help, I need to know the internal gains of each room by equipment. It is worth noting that in the other internal gains modes (entering the equipment power density value by zone), the results are displayed and I get results. The problem is in the detailed mode.
