My model is giving me this error and I can't get it to do anything else. I tried all the troubleshooting from another discussion question in the forum similar to this but nothing. I also have the updated version of WaterGEMS.
Hello Andrea,
The following links have information on this error message:
User Notification "Failed to validate model"
Computing model saved in version 10.02.02.XX or 10.02.03.XX results in "Failed to validate model."
The key would be to make sure that you are using the latest version of WaterGEMS, which is version 10.03.05.05, though the links have some additional information as well. If you are using that version, we will likely need to see a copy of the model files.
Regards,
Scott
I have the updated version of WaterGEMS, how can I send you my model?
This link has the steps to send the model to us.
MUD 36A.wtgpkg.zip
Here we go, let me know if this works.
I have received the model and can reproduce the issue. I will let you know when I have more information for you.
Thank you Scott keep me updated.
Hi Andrea, your model fails to compute or validate because of an issue with the configuration of the hydropneumatic tanks HT-1 and HT-2. You have configured the model to run a steady state simulation but still consider simple controls (the calculation option "Use simple controls during steady state" is set to "true"), and there are simple controls active to control the pump status based on the HGL of the hydropnematic tanks, but the HGL range does not match the HGL range in the tank properties. The controls refer to an on HGL of 208 ft and an off HGL of 247 ft, but difference values are entered in the tank properties "HGL (on)" and "HGL (off)".
To resolve the issue, set the controls equal to the HGL on/off values, or choose "False" for "use simple controls during steady state". For example set the HGL on to 208 ft and the HGL off to 247 ft and the model will validate and compute.
I will report this issue to our developers for better handling in a future version, and will document this in our Wiki in the meantime.

One slight correct to my previous post - in addition to fixing the HGL on/off values so that they match the controls, it appears that you will also need to go to Components > Controls, then click through each of the four controls at the bottom of the list (related to the tanks), then close the controls dialog and the model should validate. (at least, this is what I needed to do in the latest version, 10.03.05.05).
I have reported this to our developers (reference #877038) and added my solution as item #6 in this article: User Notification "Failed to validate model"
