Problem:
After importing a CESAR file into AutoPIPE the model appear to open, but does not fully open and program crashes displaying the following:
Bentley AutoPIPE ApplicationBentley AutoPIPE Application is not respondingIf you close the program, you might lose information.[Close the program]
[Wait for the program to respond]
Solution:
The NTL, MSG, and CHK are created in the CII fiolder location.
A3. Start by reviewing the CHK and MSG files by opening them in any word editing program for indications of last point processed, example:
** LAST NODE PROCESSED: 630
RIGD 630 620 N Y
*** WARNING: FAR POINT IS INVALID. FAR POINT IGNORED.
Open the NTL file and navigate to this location, example: find all occurances of node point 630.
Confirm closed loop, AutoPIPE does not support a closed loop, example:
original:
***
SEG 620
PIPE PIPE1
TEE
RUN 630 0.010 0.000 0.000
TEE
RIGD 620 630 N Y
RUN 620 -0.010 0.000 0.000
TEE

FLA 620 WELDNECK 150 BW 24.000

* 3.500
RUN 640 -0.292 0.000 0.000
Note: Segment starts at node point 620, psitve direction to node point 630, and then negative direction back to node point 620 (this is an exampl of a closed loop). AutoPIPE V8i 9.6 and higher will abort when detecting a closed loop where AutoPIPE V8i 9.5 and lower crashes as described above.
Avoidance:
Update CAESAR model so no closed loops exist.
Or
Update node numbers in NTL file with unique values and fix geometry in AutoPIPE model.
Fixed:
