Hi Seyed Amir,
For SAM's CEC Module Model, the short circuit current (Isc) equation is described in Equation 10.30 in Gilman, P.; Dobos, A.; DiOrio, N.; Freeman, J.; Janzou, S.; Ryberg, D. (2018) SAM Photovoltaic Model Technical Reference Update. 93 pp.; NREL/TP-6A20-67399. (

)
For other publications about SAM's PV models see
sam.nrel.gov/photovoltaic/pv-publications.html.
SAM's solar models require a weather file with hourly or subhourly data. It is not possible to run SAM with a 3-hour weather file.
Best regards,
Paul.
