[Equest-users] file format error! is all my work lost?

[MattDubrovich at Eaton.com]

If your main .inp file was erased (0 or 1 kB in size) and you happened to run a few parametric runs, any of the parametric run .inp files includes all of the data you need to reopen your model.  I’ve been able to simply copy and rename one of those files and it worked fine with my .pd2.  You will have to undo all of the parametric changes but it’s a lot easier than starting from scratch.

Others may have a better solution in dealing with the .pd2 file.  However, one option is to open a blank eQUEST file (go new file from wizard -> SD wizard and then click the red x on the 1st screen of the wizard to start blank).  Now File Import the project .inp file (the one with out " - baseline" ... please make a copy first!).  

You should be able to recover everything you had in the detailed interface except the project location which you will need to redefine.  Your wizard data is lost (as that was in the .pd2) but all the detailed interface data is stored in the .inp file.  

Hope this helps.
