Question:
While analyzing a model in AutoPIPE Vessel, the following warning is reported:
Error File loading failure
XML Parser loading failure for file: <File path>
For more information, contact Bentley Systems Technical Support.
Why does this error occur, and how can it be avoided?
Answer:
This error occurs during the analysis phase when AutoPIPE Vessel attempts to load and parse the model file. The issue is related to file integrity and prevents the software from correctly reading the model data.
Scenario #1:
Investigation shows that the AutoPIPE Vessel model file (.emvd) appears to have been tampered with or modified outside the application.
In most reported cases:
-
-
- The .emvd file was opened using Notepad or another text editor
- Some XML content was accidentally deleted or altered
- As a result, the file is no longer a valid XML structure
- AutoPIPE Vessel fails to parse the file, leading to the XML parser loading failure error
-
Unfortunately, once the XML structure is corrupted, the model cannot be recovered.
Solution:
There is no repair or recovery option available for a corrupted .emvd file.
-
-
- Create a new AutoPIPE Vessel model file
- Rebuild the model using the original input data, if available
