  Mike,
   
  do you already know when the next release version 
  1.0.3 will be available?
   
  By the way, the effects of non-steady loads you 
  also can get for zone sizing calculations. But I assume this is the same 
  bug as for design day calculations.

Thanks to Clemens' persistence, a bug has been 
    found related to the 
load convergence criteria during the warmup 
    period.  This is causing 
the warmup period to exit too early.  
    The case described below was 
exiting after only three warmup days, which 
    was too soon for this 
heavy construction.  This resulted in 
    unsteady conditions during the 
steady-state design day.  The bug 
    has been fixed for the next 
release, version 1.0.3.
This bug may 
    impact the results of short-term simulations with heavy 
    
constructions.  For lighter weight buildings and for annual 
    
simulations, the overall impact on results should be very 
    small.
