Smurtada Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I came across a problem involving culverts, not sure if it has to do with a bug or an operation error on my part. When launching the simulation run, I keep getting an error stating “Could not open the file *.hy8”. The model was able to run successfully without the culvert in-place in a separate run. So I know it has to do with the culvert.I entered the culvert in the model by following the procedure as outlined in the manual:1- First, specified the file location of the HY-8 model, under the edit tab /preferences.2- Created the *.Hy8 file through the boundary condition coverage.3- By activating the BC coverage, created two arcs, then right-clicked and selected “Assign Linear BC”.4- Launched the HY-8 program to enter the culvert properties.5- As an experiment, I also copied the HY-8 program and libraries into the same project folder, re-specified the pathway and tried to run the model again, but got the same error message. Any help or advice on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zfisher Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hello,This is Zack from Aquaveo's Technical Support staff. HY8 often has a problem opening files that contain and spaces in the filepath, and it sounds like this might be the case. For instance the filepath "C:\Users\zfisher\Downloads\Bore holes\culvert.hy8" will cause the program to close but the filepath "C:\Users\zfisher\Downloads\Bore_holes\culvert.hy8" would read in fine. Try removing any spaces in your filepath to the *.hy8 file and see if that works. If not, contact us at support@aquaveo.com and we will work with you to resolve this issue.Regards,ZackAquaveo Technical Support(801) 691-5530support@aquaveo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
