Problem

The V8i BB_Floormaster.dgnlib Becomes Corrupt After Adding It To CONNECT Edition folder.  There is no need for upgrading the file from V8i to AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition, but just place it in the correct dgnlib folder.  After it is opened, at first it appears to have all the correct floors and values, but then becomes corrupt with no values for floors.

Solution

In the AECOsim_Site.cfg file called from a CSB in ProjectWise, adding the following lines from the delivered file “structuralmodelingcomponents.cfg” solved the issue. Something in the user's corporate workspace requires AECOsim to load MDL's in a certain order.
