When using the ageing tool to model a whole asset life, PVsyst appears to be limited in the number of output files it can create.

Through all of my testing, it appears that PVsyst can only create 36 output files, which means that it is not possible to model (with output files) for more than 36 years. The limitation appears to be linked to the way in which PVsyst numbers/names the files, starting at "_0" and ending at "_Z." It doesn't appear possible for PVsyst to create file names beyond this. Refer to my screenshots for further details.

However, this limitation doesn't apply to the reports that can also be created from the ageing tool.  My screenshots show that it produced the entire 40 years of reports from the simulation.  This means that PVsyst has no issue modelling the period (i.e., greater than 36 years). It is just a file naming limitation which prevents the output files from being created.

Can this be fixed in a software update for all PVsyst versions (7.0 and 8.0)?
