Hi all,

I have been running into an issue where I will run my model in SWAT+ Editor without getting an error message but not all of the expected output files are being written into the TxtInOut folder. For example: channel_sd_[time.step] and basin_wd_[time.step] files. 

What steps should be taken to try and fix the issue? I have tried a couple basic things like writing the files into different folders, checking different combinations of options in the "Choose output to print" tab, etc. This issue did not arise with my last model yet I haven't done anything different?

Anyway, any and all suggestions on what I should be looking into would be very appreciated!

Regards,
Maggie

Maggie: 

The outputs for channel_sd file should be present when you include LCHA objects and the basin_wb should be present with a successful simulation.  Are you certain that the model ran the entire timestep?  I can take a look if you send me your current txtinout directory.

Hi Nancy,

Thanks so much for offering to take a look at the files. Here is a wetransfer link to what is all in the TxtInOut folder: https://we.tl/t-VsCcKoTaRj

If you would prefer the files to be sent another way, please let me know. 


Nothing was changed in this latest run of the model aside from burning in a stream channel file rather than having the QSWAT program create its own. (Apologies for the lack of insight on what I have done. This is my first SWAT/SWAT+ model and I'm still getting the hang of the ropes.) Any and all guidance is extremely appreciated!
