[Equest-users] corrupt .sim file

Hi All,
Has anybody restored the .sim file before?
My eQuest model opens with no errors, runs with no errors, displays
reports within the eQuest interface and also has no errors in the bdl
file. Although, the .sim file alone would not open at all.
Occasionally I get a prompt that says that the .sim file is corrupt.
I have tried to start a new pd2 and import the .inp alone to create a
new file, but that still did not solve the .sim file issue.
One thing I noticed is that typically most .sim files range in the 15
- 30 MB file size. The .sim file that does not work reads a whopping
300 mb. I guess that should have raised a red flag, but I did not
catch it in time.
Any suggestions anybody on how I can keep all my work and restore the
corrupt .sim file? The model now is useless to me without the details
offered in the sim file.
Thanks much
