I think you have a mix-up between the library file that comes with DOE2.2 vs the
one that comes with eQuest. The library files aren't the same, you'll have
to add the materials from the one to the other. I believe you can do this
with a text editor. You may be able to copy the library file from DOE2.2
to eQuest (although you'll have fewer library choices as the eQuest one has more
entries?)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=137422616-25042006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I had
done this before where I wanted to use DOE2.2 directly instead of eQuest, so I
had to copy over the eQuest library file (I forget the exact name of the
file...BDLLIB.dat or similar). I'm not sure what to do for you, since you
may have used components out of the eQuest library and can't simply revert to
the DOE2.2 library.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=2>A<SPAN
class=137422616-25042006>s far as I know, you will have to keep using the
detailed data edit mode. You may want to look at a tool such as
"compare-it" to keep track of two separate eQuest *.inp
files.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Dear All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am Gang. I obtained a simulation model (let's call it Original Source
Model) defined using <FONT face=Verdana size=2>DOE-2.2 (version 44c3).
The file name is *.INP. I </FONT>am trying to modify it using eQuest3.55
since the eQuest3.55 included the latest DOE-2.2 (version 44c3).</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>When I open the Original Source Model using eQuest3.55, there
are ~40 errors found in BDL. For example: "A MATERIAL property is
zero or negative". I want to correct these errors using
eQuest3.55 platform. My questions are: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Whether is any confict between the model (*.INP) developed using
general DOE-2.2 version 44c3 with eQuest3.55? I mean, does eQuest3.55
recognize all the BNL codes from DOE-2.2 version 44c3? Is it possible that the
model developed in DOE-2.2 version 44cs can correctly run in DOE-2.2 but not
in eQuest?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. Since my Orginal Source Model was not originally generated from wizard
inputs, eQuest doesn't permit me entering the wizards to modify the model. I
only can use the "Detailed Data Edit" mode. But the changes made in "Detailed
Data Edit" mode cannot be recorded by the EEM wizard. Is there any easy method
to rebuild the model in wizard and correct BDL errors? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks a lot!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV></DIV>
