[EnergyPlus_Support] Problem about a mirror fins

Dear group,

Weeks ago I had a trouble about a special fins that were specular mirrors.

I tried to simulate this fins with the objects Shading:Building:Detailed to describe the geometry of the fins and with the ShadingProperty:Reflectance to describe the optical behaviour of this elements. 

The simulation be executed well but it didn't return me any result about "Surface Ext Beam Sol From Bm-To-Bm Refl From Obstructions". E+ don't advise me of any error so I understand there is no incompatibility problems between these objects. I understand that if the simulation works well it has to return me some result about beam to beam reflections from obstructions.

I supose that the problem maybe is in the Shading Property:Reflectance object.

I describe all the fins in the same way. Like this:

IDF,ShadingProperty:Reflectance,L1A,0,0,1,LamaCon; (Because I don't care about the diffuse part)

IDF,WindowMaterial:Glazing,Lama,SpectralAverage,,0.002,0,1,1,0,1,1,0,0.01,0.01,0.9,1,No; (This glass is the only material in LamaCon)

Anybody knows how to resolve this trouble?

Thanks in advance!
