[Equest-users] equest model loses all info

[Nicholas Caton via Equest-users]

Also in the scenario Daric described – you can feel comfortable deleting the *.pdl (log file) if it ever grows to large proportions like that.  I haven’t run into that issue in some time now, and it may be something specific to certain equest version/builds.

Matthew:

If you have a valid .inp file you can use that to open the project.  Note, there will be 2 .inp files listed in the directory, one will be 0 kb and one will be some other size.  Don't use the 0 kb file.

Launch eQuest, then choose select existing project.

When the window opens go to the bottom right where is says equest files (*.pd2) and use the drop down button to select the BDL input files (*.inp) and choose that.  The click on the valid .inp file.

The project should open correctly and make a new .pd2 file when you rename the project and save it.

Good luck.

I've had this problem a few times:  I'll be working on building my model.  I save it, close eQuest, but when I reopen the file, it is completely blank.  I'm not sure if this is relevant but just in case it is: There are a 73 files in the eQuest project folder.  One of them is 5GB in size.   If anyone has had this problem, and knows of how to get my model back, I'd really appreciate finding out how you fixed the problem. Thanks
