Problem:
The following message appears when using AutoPIPE:
Export Input Data
------------------------------
Error in writing DB file
------------------------------
OK
why
Solution:
This is not a model / DAT file corruption issue. This is a known issue that has been logged (1612425) and will be fixed in a future version of the software (scheduled for AutoPIPE 2025 update 1).
If a model contains more than one user defined or ANSI wind load cases, the input database export fails to generate, and an error message is shown. Only workaround, define only 1 User defined or ANSI Wind load case in a model.
