Problem:
The following appears when trying to run an analysis in AutoPIPE,
---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
E514-2: Unable to retrieve Time History Load and Time History files.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Why and how to avoid?
Solution:
The reason for this dialog is because a particular file that is required by the program is missing from the folder where the model is located.
Scenario #1:
Create a new folder on the desktop and copy the following AutoPIPE Example model (AP50SR1.DAT) to this folder.
Run the Analysis, the dialog above will appear.
Question, Why?
Answer,
The CO2.THL file required for running the Time history analysis is missing, see the following screen shot:
Upon further inspection, find that the C02.THL file is not located in the model's folder. A THL file is automatically created after running the Load> Steam Relief, Fluid Transient Analysis, or manually created by the user.
In this example above the C02.THL file would have been created after running the Steam Relief utility as directed by the "Executing Steam Relief Example (ap50sr1)" document in AutoPIPE help pages. By skipping this step and directly analyzing the model the error dialog above was displayed.
Avoidance
Be sure to check that all the file required to run the analysis are available in the folder. If some files are found to be missing, command AutoPIPE to automatically create them, manually create them, or copy from another project into this folder.
Only after all files are present and properly formatted can the analysis be completed without showing the error screen above.
Scenario #2:
Open model that has Fluid transient loads THL and THP files configured, save the file to an NTL, move only the NTL file to a new folder location, and open the NTL file. Notice that this error message, E514-2, will appear.
Question: Why?
Answer:
Because there is no NTL Batch command that will rerun the Fluid transient feature to regenerate the missing THL and THP files required to run the Time history dynamic analysis, per the NTL SOLV THST command card.
Avoidance
Folder where the NTL file is opened from must have the required file(s) necessary to run the various Batch commands mentioned in the NTL file. In this scenario, place the correct THL and THP files in the same folder as the NTL being opened.
Scenario #3:
Open an model generated by an older version of AutoPIPE, the message above may appear.
Question: Why?
Answer:
The TIH file is now known as the "THP" file in AutoPIPE versions 11.2 and higher. As a result, the application won't be able to locate the THP and displays the above notice to the user when opening an older model from an earlier version.
Avoidance
Open the TIH file using any text editor. Next open an AutoPIPE model, use the original TIH file information to recreate a new THP within AutoPIPE
