Problem:
When importing an NTL file into AutoPIPE the following was reported in *.MSG file:
*** ERROR: INPUT UNIT FILE NOT READABLE.
Why and how to avoid it?
Solution:
Open the NTL file in any text editor (Notepad++, Ultra Edit, MS Word, etcc) and review lines down to "***" :
Example:
Refer to AutoPIPE help section for details on the definitions for each line:
Scrolling further down on this Batch reference card revels the definitions:
IUNT: Input units file. Enter the name of the units file containing units for all variables in the batch file. This file name should have a .UNT extension; however, do not enter the extension.
BLANK: Default is AUTOPIPE.
OUNT: Output units file. Enter the name of the units file containing units for data to be output to reports and summaries from within AutoPIPE. This file name should have a .UNT extension. However, do not enter the extension.
BLANK: Default is AUTOPIPE.
From the screen shot above, input and output files are indicated as:
Input Unit file = P1872
Output Unit file = P1872
That would mean that these files (P1872.UNT) must be located in one of two locations:
1. The same folder as NTL file trying to be opened
OR
2. AutoPIPE installation folder
AutoPIPE v.10 and higher: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\AutoPIPE CONNECT
If the files are not locatedin one of these folders, then the application will abort being opened.
Avoidance:
Option A: copy unit file to proper location:
Option B: Update NTL file to reference a default UNIT file to open the model make changes to these settings a later time.
Step #1: Open the NTL file in any text editor (Notepad++, Ultra Edit, MS Word, etcc) :
Step #2: With out changing column location of other information on the line, Overwrite existing information with "AutoPIPE"
Example:
Step #3: Save file with NLT extension.
Step #4: Open in AutoPIPE.
