[WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
Aslam
Hello everyone,
I hope this email gets your attention. I want to perform PSHA with a shallow background source that has used the HMTK smooth seismicity grid. Here are some of the files used and the errors that appear repeatedly.
I would greatly appreciate any corrections to what has been written.
Thank you.
The error:
