Default Engine performance calculator weird error

So I have a 4 stroke PFI mono-cylinder engine that I have simulated (from -520°CA to +180°CA). When I load the thermo file into the engine performance calculator I'm getting an error message:

"No work output - not enough data (for a single cycle 180deg is min requirement) or incorrect data file."

However when I load the thermo file it says start -520 and end 180.07, so I do not understand why it doesn't "see" the data.

Any idea how to solve this issue without having to change the start and end points and re-run the simulation?

Good morning! It looks like you haven't completed a full 4-stroke cycle - can you tell me if in the engine performance window you have selected 360 degree calculations or 720 degree calculations?

Thanks!
