Error with dervied constituents

Mon, 03/21/2011 - 4:47pm — Peter
I have been working to modify the DeGray example to match my system. I went through and made a few changes to have a pump instead of a structure and to have 10 vertical layers instead of 36. I am getting the following error when I run the preprocessor: Either illegal value or incorrect card somewhere in the following card RPOM_N OFF CST DERI CDWBC CDWBC CDWBC CDWBC CDWBC CDWBC CDWBC CDW DOC OFF POC OFF I have checked my field widths many times and that does not appear to be the problem. Also I have recreated my edits after starting over from the DeGray example and on the second time I still get the same error in the preprocessor. I have all derived constituents turned off in the CST Derived card. Also, when I run the preprocessor, it freezes up at this CST Derived card and I have to use task manager to kill it. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Hi Peter, Did you edit the control file using a text editor, or did you use the GUI? One possibility is that you do not have enough lines (or too many) in the control file above this point. I would check near the pump cards that you edited. Another possibility is that there is a tab character somewhere in these fields. If there are any tabs, you will need to replace those with spaces. Hope this helps, Chris

Excuse me, I am having the same kind of error even if for another card. Did you solve it in the end? Did you remember what was the problem? Thanks a lot.
