Retrofit cavity insulation

Could anyone give be some guidance on how to simulate a cavity wall which has been retrofitted with insulation? I have already run an assembly with a moisture source through the exterior with a 1% driving rain factor but i'm seeing little difference when the moisture source isn't present. Any help w...

U value

Is it possible to calculate the u-value of the insulation or of the entire wall after a period of time?
Thanks

Moisture content

Is it possible to convert the moisture content from kg/m2 into a percentage on WUFI?
Thanks

I have enabled the adaptive time step control but the error is still appearing. Saying the sources overlap.
I have put in a moisture source through the exterior finish and the brick masonry, is this the wrong method?
Thanks

I have included moisture sources to my external brickwork and plaster to indicate the drilled holes. However, an error appears when i try to run the simulation. Could anyone explain to me where ...

Wall properties for 20 year old house

Could someone please tell me what the necessary changes are to the properties of a cavity wall which would have been exposed to weathering for say 20 years? I know the moisture content for example would increase but to what degree?
This is for my dissertation so any help would be great :)
