Bently PondPack V8i Problem - Adding engineering library from ProjectWise

I'm attempting to set up my project to work out of ProjectWise. I have my model set up and working fine, but I cannot get the engineering library containing my rainfall curve to load. When I attempt to add my library to my model using the "ProjectWise add existing library..." option, I get an error stating " The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."

To make sure my .xml file was ok, I copied it to my desktop. Then I went into my model (Still using ProjectWise) and I was able to successfully load the library.

If you need a better explanation, please let me know.

Thanks,

TimZ

  • If I save my Engineering Library to my computer, I am able to import the library without any problem. When I save my Library to a folder within ProjectWise and then try to add it to my model, I get the message "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."
  • Hello,

    Could you send me a new copy of the XML file or maybe a different one (if you have one)? There may be something wrong with the file, since I am unable to load the XML file into my Engineering Libraries, though you are able to do it.

    Thanks,
    Scott
  • Hello,

    Could you run through the steps you are taking both when you try to import from ProjectWise and when you import into PondPack directly? I am still getting the message about the file being an unrecognized XML file using either method.

  • Certainly, I will try my best.

    For this example, I will be making a new XML file.

    I have created a PondPack model by opening PondPack V8i --> Create New Project --> and creating my Pre/Post Development scenarios.

    I then go to Components --> Engineering Libraries. I select storm event groups and click "Create new Library". This prompts me to create a name for the library and a place to put it. Since I am not able to save it into ProjectWise at this point, I temporarily save it to my desktop.

    (Note: I think this is where it is messing up. I think there should be an option here to be able to save a library directly to a folder within ProjectWise.)

    Next I go to Components --> Storm Data --> New Time-Depth button. I create my storm event by adding return event from dimensionless curve and input the appropriate data.

    After that is setup, I select the storm I created and I click the blue book button that represents the Engineering Library then I click "Export to Library..." To sync it with the Library I just created.

    So at this point, I have the Engineering Library and the storm associated with it all set up and working. I now want to put this Engineering Library onto ProjectWise.

    I simply copy and paste it from my desktop into the appropriate folder on ProjectWise.

    At this point, since I have my Engineering Library on ProjectWise, I delete the library that is on my desktop.

    I go back into my PondPack Model and go to Components --> Engineering Libraries and I remove the xml file that it was referencing off of my desktop. I then right click the Storm Event Groups and click ProjectWise add existing library.

    Here I navigate to the correct folder and select the XML that I had copied from my desktop into my ProjectWise folder. I click open to apply it to my model and I get the error "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."

    I hope that helps
