Hi Equest world,
I am having a tough time opening and accessing a relatively small Equest 3,65 model (it worked a short time ago).
Looking at the files, I notice that the *.PDL file is over 2.6 GB in size?usually these are 100-800 kb!!
Any idea what could be the problem?
Thanks!

Delete everything but the inp and pd2.
I've got no explanation as to why it's huge, but I've been doing that successfully

I would note that you should save you .prd file as well if you set up any parametric runs.

Absolutely, thanks Nathan.
I wrote that Quickly. I hope no prd file was deleted because of me.

You can just delete the .pdl file. I have seen this as well, a .pdl
grows "crazy-large" and the model behaves erratically. Simply deleting
the file -- which is a log of changes to the model which candidly, I
have not used, has got my files working again.
Thank you all for the quick reply!
As always, this is proving to be an exceedingly useful list-serve.
Best!
