This approach will still work in BEopt 2.8, nothing has changed. Note that for this to work:

1. work: 1. You still need to check the "DView" box on the Run Simulations dialog.
2. dialog. 2. The hourly results will be available in, e.g., the TEMP1/1.csv file found after going to the menu Tools > Open Data Dir. The results will not show up in the DView program.

I just tested it myself in BEopt 2.8 and it produced the correct outputs.
