Constant WaterGEMS crashing

Anyone having issues with WaterGEMS V8i crashing when either adding a new scenario to a simple model, or when editing elements of a scenario?

Compacting databases or moving .wtglight files to a separate directory then re-inserting them is useless.   No help from Bentley.

  • Spam filter must have caught the emails.  I know I responded back, even called.  I got a couple of emails through spam with the recommendations to move/delete files and retry.  No success.
     

    <![if !supportLists]>1.       <![endif]>Version:               V8i          08.11.06.113 64 bit         1/27/2016

    <![if !supportLists]>2.       <![endif]>Windows 10

    <![if !supportLists]>3.       <![endif]>Not limited to this hydraulic model.  It does not happen in all models.  

    <![if !supportLists]>4.       <![endif]>Tried moving both files to different folders – no difference in results.  I can re-open the model file, add one scenario, run it and save the data.  When I either open a new one, change the demand values, or switch to an existing model, the software crashes.  I sent a copy of the error log yesterday, and hopefully someone can review it.

    <![if !supportLists]>5.       <![endif]>I will re-upload the file with a summary of when the model crashed.

    <![if !supportLists]>6.       <![endif]>Generally best availability is after lunch, between 1:30 and 5:00 pm

     
    Access to your Utilities group was difficult on the website.
     
    Thanks.

  • Hi Lee, thanks for the information. See my private message for details on the specific Service Requests in the past. I'm sorry to hear that spam filters may be involved - please add Support@Bentley.com to your safe senders list.

    I received your crash logs (thanks) and have reviewed them. Based on some basic research, I believe this is a known issue that was resolved in the latest release. I was able to reproduce this in the version you have, by making a change to the unit demand collection field of a junction, then switching scenarios. I was not able to reproduce the issue in the latest release, 10.01.00.72. 

    Are you able to upgrade to the CONNECT Edition, or do you need to stay on V8i SELECTseries 6?

    Can you confirm that you are making changes to *unit* demands before these issues occur?

    Regarding the Utilities group - that is a separate department unrelated to WaterGEMS. For WaterGEMS questions, be sure to choose WaterGEMS/Haestad as the Product/Brand in the Service Request Manager, or post in this forum (Haestad).

    Let me know if the above does not help and I will plan to call you this afternoon.
