Adding wind vectors through .wnd or .amv/.amu files

Hi everyone,
I am trying to add wind to my D-Waves model, through adding the following lines to the general part of the .mdw file:
MeteoData = windx.wnd
MeteoData = windy.wnd
or
MeteoData = windx.amu
MeteoData = windy.amv
I also tried to add the wind files through the GUI, or by adding it in the .mdw file under the 'Domain' section. Somehow, the model only uses the second MeteoData line, instead of both of themĀ (hence the y-direction wind data). This results in wind either entirely from the north or entirely fromĀ the south. The model doesn't create a nice vector by combining the x-direction and y-direction provided. Does anyone recognize this behavior?
Thanks!
Hoyte

The issue was in the Delft3D-FM version that I was using. The GUI of 2020.2 removed the first defined MeteoFile upon saving or running. This issue has been solved in 2021.03.
