How to tell if a model used DOE2.2 or DOE2.3?

Is there a way to tell which version of DOE eQUEST 3.65-7175 should be set to before opening a model file?

If I right-click the .pd2 I see the eQUEST software version number to use, but I don't see any indication of which DOE version to use (2.2 or 2.3). I usually just open it in whichever I currently have it set to, and if it gives errors I try opening it again with the other version set.

Thanks,

Hi Phil,

If you open the BDL file with a text editor, the DOE-2 version is shown on line 52.

We were looking at that yesterday coincidentally. In the .pd2 if you see the line:

DOE2Version = "Design Sizing"

... then it is a DOE-2.3 file.

DOE-2.2 files do not have the DOE2Version parameter written in the .pd2.
