<p class="MsoNormal">New to me (not really sure why it’s grayed out), but you could try manually inserting the model reference in the PRD file for the associated run(s).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s an example of what that looks like in the interface (when you can access the tick box):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img width="1009" height="175" style="width:10.5104in;height:1.8229in" id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image001.png@01D27BE5.428DEB50"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">…. Versus what it looks like in the PRD file – the relevant path looks like the 7<sup>th</sup> entry following “PARAMETRIC_RUN”:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img width="1195" height="79" style="width:12.4479in;height:.8229in" id="Picture_x0020_4" src="cid:image002.png@01D27BE5.BAE47FB0"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also I’m 99% certain the preceding “TRUE” entry above is the state of the checkbox we’re concerned with. Set that to TRUE as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you manually edit your PRD, then try re-opening / simulating that parametric, you’ll get a more informative error/caution to explain why it’s being disallowed in the first place. Alternatively maybe it will just get ignored and won’t
work… but worth a shot!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>On a related point:</b> I’ve been recently interested in fully deconstructing / reverse-engineering the structure of the PRD files for parametric analyses, and also understanding exactly how these inputs are leveraged to modify the
INP file (preprocessing) prior to a parametric simulation. Is anyone aware of any official/unofficial documentation already pulled together on this front?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to run a parametric run based on a separate .inp file in eQuest 3.65. However the option to switch to a different file is unavailable to me – see below. Has anyone come across this issue before? Any tips on how to fix it?<o:p></o:p></p>
