Issue With EnergyPlus EPW Weather File?

[Ned Lyon]

I purchased an actual year weather file in EPW format. I have run WUFI 5.3 and WUFI 2d simulations using the file. The 2d simulations crash at the first rain event, and the 1d simulation runs, but becomes super saturated compared to a library file from a nearby location. I reviewed the rain data in the file, and it seems reasonable. I'm wondering if WUFI is not processing the file properly when it has actual rain data as opposed to the typical flags for rain. I can send you files to review if you like.

Dear Ned,
sounds like that is a combination from the climate conditions and your boundary behavior. Maybe try to reduce the rain water absorption of the surface.
