Problem:

What do I do when the following appears?

---------------------------
Stress Iso Export
---------------------------
There were some warnings and/or errors while executing ISOGEN.
 Do you want to review messages:
---------------------------
Yes   No  
---------------------------

 Answer:

Press the "Yes" button.

In a moment the AutoPIPE Viewer will be displayed with the following file:

C:\ Bentley\ AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries\ PISOGEN\ PROJECTS\ APIPEPROJ\FINAL\ OUTPUT\ FINAL.MES

This file will provide details to the reason why the stress iso draw was or was not created. Fianl.MES file is updated each time after a Stres Iso command is invoked and drawing is created. Therefore it only contains information from the last successful run.

The Final.MES file has multiple sections:

> Header

The header contains information about the current version of Isogen installed.

example:

Personal ISOGEN : VERSION 7.3.0 (Full)

*** IDFGEN VERSION 8.3.0 (Build 08) ***

Reading File: ISOGEN.PCF

> Errors / Warnings Detected

Detailed listing of Errors or Warnings including Message Identifier, Component Type, Coordinates, PCF Line Number, and additional information about the issue under Message Text.

Note: the coordinates are listed in order of,
East/West (default global Z), North / South (default global X), Up/down (default global Y)

> Connection Diagnostic Report FOR ISOGEN.PCF

A report listing all the components in the model with a unique PCF reference number, component type, coordinates of start point (#1) and end point (#2), Bore (Nominal) Diameter, and connection sequence.

Note: the coordinates are listed in order of, End Point #1, End Point #2
East/West (default global Z), North / South (default global X), Up/down (default global Y)

> Exported Drawings Create with Filepath Name(s)

Isogen will attempt to create a drawing file based on the model information. It will attempt multiple passes at the file creation. For each attempt that successfully creates a drawing file the entire file name path is printed in the report.  example:

 OUTPUT STAGE OF DRAWING 1_PASS_1

         **** ISOPLOT ****

 THE FOLLOWING DRAWINGS ARE IN PLOTFILE  C:\Users\mike.dattilio\Desktop\70000290 - NMaron\1_PASS_1.DXF
          DRG.   1   /1_PASS_1 PLOTTED
