Current program version:

The model you are about to open was last modified in a newer version

Please open the model in last Modified version or Latest version of the program

and use File> Save As> menu to save the model to a format compatible with current version. 

Please contact Bentley technical support for further assistance.

What can be done?

Solution:

As mentioned in the message, the model was first created in version XX.XX.XX.XXX, was last modified in version YY.YY.YY.YYY, and is trying to be opened using ZZ.ZZ.ZZ.ZZZ. If model version YY is higher than version ZZ. The above-mentioned message will be displayed. 

The only option to fix this issue, as mentioned above, open this model in AutoPIPE version YY or higher, use File> Save As> Oder Version> and select a version that is as old as ZZ or older. 

Again, there are no other solution to this error message.
