Erorr: File Corrupted or version is invalid

Hello everyone,
I am currently modeling a bay in South America and initially ran my model successfully with a specific boundary condition. However, after updating the boundary condition, I encountered an error.[reading to starting time for WC: File is corrupted or version is invalid].

Does anyone have insights on what might be causing this issue? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @azm0393

I’m here to help.

This error is displayed because some incompatibility between the input and output files was detected while the model was being opened. I surmise that you made changes and overwrote your run-complete model with them. If that was the case, please try saving the new model into a separate one.

Please let me know if that helps resolve your issue. Thank you.

Hi

Thanks for replying my message,

I saved the model in separate one in another folder, but I got a new error which has been attached to this email.

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi @azm0393

My apologies for the late reply.

Could you please check if you are using the Continuation in the Restart Options? The Restart Options is under Timing/Linkage treeview. If yes, please try switching to Cold Start or Restart, based on your preference. For further reading, please consult this article: https://eemodelingsystem.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EK/pages/240222391/EFDC+Restart+Options

Please let me know if it works.

Thanks and best regards,
