Hi All,
I am getting invalid argument error during parametric runs. The baseline run
works, but sometimes the parametric run works, other times it gives the
invalid argument error - this happens on different runs and is not
consistent. I have ended up making separate files for each parametric run,
which works. Any ideas for troubleshooting?
I am using 3.64 and havn't had trouble with it so far (6-7 months), so most
probably something to do with the current file. I did check all the geometry
etc.
Thanks

This sounds similar to, but not exactly the same as, an issue I experienced on a recent project - I think it's an issue with v3.64 and have stopped using parametric runs on projects created in this version.
In my case I had set up parametric runs for the Baseline rotations and started getting BDL read errors on the 90 degree rotation. It was something to the effect of "Error on line 4, column 50, character expected...". Unfortunately, I have no troubleshooting tips because the .prd file looked flawless, but I noticed that the eQUEST project file (.pd2 file) was empty when I opened it with Notepad. Somehow it got wiped out and the project would no longer load. Luckily, I had my Proposed project file, so here's what I did:
1) Copied the Proposed .pd2 file in a new folder, changed the file name to "*** Baseline", then opened the file with Notepad and changed the project name to "*** Baseline" inside the file, too
2) Copied the Baseline .inp file in the same folder
This restored my Baseline to the pre-parametric run status. Sorry this doesn't find the cause, but hopefully someone else out there won't lose a project.
Thanks,
