<p class=MsoNormal>Due to an error in a parametric run eQuest wiped out everything
but the Building Shell components in the BDL file of a model I am working on. Because
I have been doing so many parametric runs I have tons of INP files that have
everything in them. I have similar back-ups that I could use but unfortunately
none from today, meaning I’d need to redo quite a bit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is there any way to create a BDL from an INP? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The information seems like it’s there, just not in the
right format. Primarily the BDL has specific references to curves that the INP
does not have, but all the curves in this model are defaults.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any help is appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
