SAP2000 Time History with Moving Loads

engAnthony · Jun 2, 2007

Hi!!!
I was trying to do a time history analysis with moving loads on SAP2000 to simulate trains crossing a bridge.
I've done an analysis with few loads and it worked fine. However, I've tried to do an analysis with more loads and a shorter time step but, when running it I've received the following error message: FILE OPEN ERROR # -32
Does anyone could tell me what it means??? Or what can I do to complete sucessfully the analysis?

Thanks in advance

Hmmmm. Isn't CSi wonderful!?

I've seen that before. I think I kept either the database file or the text file, deleted everything and re-opened it. Might try something like this.

I really love some of SAP, but CSi just has something against producing a program without an excess number of irritating features and bugs.

Oh yeah!!! CSi appears to be sooooo wonderful...
I've tried for samy times that I don't know what to do more. Sometimes it runs but the most often situation is that error...
The most stupid thing is that the file that could not be open exists, and occupies only 2KB!!!
CSi should try in the development of its programs a new approach, the KISS approach: Kepp It Simple Stupid.
At least microsoft errors are explained in the web. SAP errors look to be unexplicable...
