I am currently using SWAT-CUP Sufi2 to calibrate my SWAT model. After running my model for 6 years at a daily time step, I have set up SWAT-CUP using various online tutorials to calibrate outflows (FLOW_OUT) using 5 optimization parameters. I have also included observed flows for this reach for each day of the simulation period, minus the 1 year for warm up.

After executing the calibration procedures for 1 simulation (just to ensure it runs), I do not run into any errors however nothing is showing up on my 95ppu plot. I'm wondering if this has to do with where/how all my files are saved, as I am doing this for the first time and may be making mistakes. I have taken Txtinout from the "scenarios" -> "default" folder to create the CUP project, so I am assuming it uses this to extract my output.rch data during calibration.

Are there any other possible quick fixes to this problem/ways of troubleshooting I do not know of?

Yes, I have indeed run all 3 calibration steps... any advice?

There is no error message, however my plot is empty (i.e. does not contain observed and simulated data). Looking at my SWAT output files, I can see that I have simulated flows for my 6 years of simulation (output.rch file). I also provided observed flows for this time in the format provided in the manual. This is why it is confusing that none of this data is portrayed in my plot...

Does file 95ppu_g.txt exist?

I solved the problem out of an answer for a diiferent post from Dr. Abbaspour.
Maybe someone will have the same issue....
I was missing this line below, since I was using NS, I deleted it.
                                1     : if objective function is 11=MNS (modified NS),indicate the power, p.

I have a very similar same problem. I think SWAT-CUP is running without error, but the observed and simulated data in the 95 ppu plot are zero. The single_obj_95ppu_g.txt file does exist in my SPE.OUT > Single_Obj folder. For reference, the attached photos and document show the issue and contain the SWATCUP run details.

In my Observed.txt settings I have the line "1     : if objective function is 11=MNS (modified NS),indicate the power, p." so this is not the problem. 
I've been following Dr. Abbaspour's tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxHpPYe9iB8

Does anyone how to solve my issue? Thanks!
