Hello, I have three questions:

1. I want to use an hourly time step length instead of the standard of 1 day. Of course I can just use the numerical value of 1/24 as the time step length, but I am wondering if there is a different way to do this. Also, since 1/24 is a number with infinite decimal places, for simulations over very large time spans, writing the value of 1/24 up to a certain number of decimal places will eventually lead some sort of error (since I can not use infinite decimal places to specify the time step length, i.e. the time step length is not excatly 1 hour).

2. Is there a way to retrieve the density and volume or the mass of a certain mesh element using python? I want to use this information to calculate a mass-weighted average.

3. Is there a way to programmatically import a .pow file as a time series into a certain .fem model and use this imported .pow file as the boundary conditions for BHE's (in python)?

Best regards and thanks in advance.
