Hello Antonio,

EMS' real strength is that it runs during the simulation so that your simulation results actually depend on calculations performed with EMS. For your purpose, I'd just write a quick script (or even manually in Excel) for post-processing (after the simulation is run)

If you want to sum of a year of value in EMS, you could just have a variable that accumulates at each time step. (e.g., x=0 at first timestep; x=x+temperature). An effective way to import vectors of data into E+ is using schedule:file object and then referring to this in your EMS code. But I'm not aware of any way to sum values in the schedule; E+ only accesses the current schedule value (depending on the timestep).

Cheers,

Liam
