Grasshope,

This setting is intended for running many IDF files simultaneously (as many as your CPU allows) and not to break one single simulation in parts.

It can be a nice feature in HB if you have all your IDFs ready for run. But as far as i know it is not implemented yet.

I can maybe give it a try and write this code ...

I remember that EnergyPlus 7.2 started to introduce the feature for running a single simulation in parallel which they removed once EnergyPlus came out. I'm not sure if they ever put it back.

For running a group of idf files in parallel check this discussion. You can set the number of CPUs there.

I missed this one :-(

So no need to write anything :-)
