After setting up the calibration inputs, observation data, and running through the calibration steps, I am unable to open any of the calibration outputs except for Dotty Plots. I'm new to SWAT in general so there may be multiple errors. 
Why am I unable to view these, and how do I fix this?

Thanks,

Wyatt

I have a similar issue in term of error in sufi 2. 

I think the reason of why you cannot open the rest of files is that 2nd step  did not finish yet, therefore you cannot open. You need to finish 2nd step successfully, then it can be easily opened.

Thanks for the reply, however, I tried re-running all calibration steps after fixing inconsistencies in the no. of variables between observed_rch.txt and extract_rch.def and am still getting similar results despite SUFI2_run.bat running successfully. I've attached screenshots of the run.bat and post.bat windows. When setting up the iteration, I only set it to 5 simulations. Post.bat seems to be looking for simulations 6 and 7. Do I need to add more simulations?

As I mentioned I had the same issue. However, it seems I solved the issue. For this, you need to check your simulation period, by means if the simulation period is  8 years from 2007 to 2015, 2 years are warm-up (just example), then you need to put your observed data from 2009 which is your observed flow out. If you give data from 2007, then SWATCUP does not recognize it because SWAT outputs start from 2009 (2 years warm up are not simulated by SWAT). 
 
Next solution is that you need to identify the column number of flow out data in your sufi (output.rch), in my case it is 9 however the rest of example shows it should be 7. 

You mentioned Post.bat was looking for 6 and 7 simulation, in this case simulation number in par_inf.txt and SUFI2_swEdit.def should be the same. For example, if you set simulation 5 in par_inf.txt and it should be also 5 SUFI2_swEdit.def. 

By the way, the recommented simulation number is 500, and acceptable number is 200/300.  

Hopefully, my explanations would be useful for you. Any question and comments are welcome.

Thank you for your explanation. After making some adjustments I was able to run a few iterations earlier and view the outputs. However, when I try calibration using the r_cn2.mgt, v_alpha_BF.gw, and v_GW_DELAY.gw paramaters I receive the attached error message. Is this something you have encountered?

Thanks in advance.

I got this error when i deleted smth in the model or stopped the model. I am not sure, maybe you need to check range of parameters you want to use.

why are you using no_observation files?
