Increasing minimum warmupdays

Is it possible to increase minimum warm-up days in Honeybee +, in legacy, there was a function on the simulation control. I’ve tried using the add_str_ on the ModeltoOSM component but get an error as the building is already defined. Tried adding “Building, Building1,0,City,FullExteriorWithReflections,100;” As a string (100 is Minimum number of Warmupdays).
I’m doing parametric sims so would be good to be able to do this in the definitions. Any help appreciated.

thx P

Hi,
I’m reviving this topic since lately i’m facing for some cases the

“Not converging after 25 warmup days error”

Looked at the HB SDKsimulation parameter, and i see the Min/Max Warmup days are not included there.
Are there any intentions to include them in the future and/or any solution to this issue?
For now, I’m trying to solve this with the add_str_ input.

Update: The add_str is not possible since the Building object type allows for only one object in the IDF file. Using the same objetc name (“Building”) renders an error since there is an object with that name already.

Thanks,
-A.
