Parametric Run Issue<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am having an issue loading my model after attempting to
complete a series of parametric runs. I have attached my .inp, .bdl, and .prd
(the txt file) files. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The model ran through the first parametric run successfully
and then stopped. Therefore I have a resulting .sim file for the baseline and
first parametric run.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>After receiving an error about expecting a character vs.
numeric value in the .prd file, I shutdown eQUEST and attempted to restart my
model. Now it will not load and my .bdl file contains the following
error:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>“ERROR: Cannot open a required file: <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>USER LIBRARY FILE NAME WAS NOT SPECIFIED<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>It does not exist or is in use. Correct this and
retry.”<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I could really use some assistance.<o:p></o:p></P>
