    <p>Michel,</p>
    <p> I am afraid I do not know what the cause of that error is
      although I have run into it myself. I always assumed it had to do
      with a simulation being launched (automatically by GenOpt) when
      some other TRNSYS (or GenOpt) process had not yet completed and
      that the reason it runs after clicking the message away is that by
      that point the process has completed. I have not run into this
      behavior lately (in the past few years) so it may be that a more
      recent version of TRNOpt/GenOpt is the answer.</p>
    <p>kind regards,</p>
    <p> David</p>

              </div>
              <div>Once again I need some help with TRNSYS/TRNOPT. <br>
              </div>
              <div>I am trying to do an optimization with the "hybrid
                for continuous and discrete variables (VonNeumann)"
                algorithm which contains the particle swarm optimization
                and the hooke-jeeves. However, when doing the
                optimization I get an I/O error 32 (see attached
                screenshots) and the following:</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div><b><u>Simulation 21: Caught
                    'genopt.lang.OptimizerException' with message:  
                    File:
'C:\Trnsys17\Optimization\GenOpt\Simulation\tmp-genopt-run-21\GenoptInputFile.LST'
                    does not exist after simulation call.<br>
                    <br>

                    /h /WAIT '<br>
                       Try to evaluate simulation a second time.</u></b><br>
                <br>
              </div>
              <div>When I close the error the optimization continues
                again and after doing this two or three times it
                eventually finds the minimum of the cost function. Does
                anyone know what this error could be and how to solve
                it? Otherwise I can't be sure how correct the results
                are ofcourse. Or could be have to do with the random
                particles chosen by the algorithm and some of them
                falling outside the boundaries?<br>
              </div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>Any help is appreciated. Thanks.</div>
