Cycles and sliders

Hello everyone,

I'm making some hourly solar radiation simulations in a large geometry with more than 1000 individual buildings, so I'm calculating one building at a time. To do this, I created a "buildings" slider to select each building and run the solar radiation simulation and save the result into an excel file. It works, however it takes around 2 hours to compute radiation in all buildings, but I think there's nothing I can do about execution time.

The problem is that I would like to change the Analysis Period automatically and restart the "buildings" slider so that I don't have to check my computed every 2 hours, but I just can't figure out how...

For instance, suppose I want to calculate hourly solar radiation for the 21st of January, from 6am to 7 pm. It would be convenient if I could Animate the "hours" slider so that once the simulation for the last building was finished the "buildins" slider went to 0 again and the hour changed to 7. And so on...

Perhaps a small script with a basic cycle would solve the matter, but I still can't figure out to control the sliders as they have no input options.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

And I'm sorry if this is a basic question or it has been discussed before (I'm new here and I didn't yet find similar discussion on this website).
