Problem:
The following is found in the MSG log file:
*** ERROR: MATERIAL FILE NOT FOUND
Why, and how to avoid?
Solution:
Be sure that the material file (xxx.LIB) specified on the PCF translator dialog screen is actually in the AutoPIPE directory folder. If not, select a material library that is in the folder.
Example:
On the PCF translator dialog screen, material library = B313-12,
What Material libraries are available in my version of AutoPIPE?
Answer: Start AutoPIPE, open the General model options and select the drop down menu for Material library files to see available material libraries, see below:
Note: AutoPIPE 9.5.x and lower does not have ASME B31.3 2012 piping code or material LIB file. Therefore, must change PCF material library to a LIB file available in the respective version of AutoPIPE.
Again, Only select those Material libraries on the PCF translator that are available in your version of AutoPIPE.
