Missing Individual .out Files

[Yanni Wang]

Hi Benson,

We’ve recently come across an issue in RORB where, when running in ensemble mode, the model occasionally fails to generate the individual .out files. In these cases, the _batch.out file is still produced and appears normal, but the individual output files are missing.

In one of our projects, we found that deleting a dummy junction and reach “magically” resolves the issue. While we can still retrieve the node results by printing the downstream reach, we can’t identify any logical reason why this small structural change would affect whether RORB writes the .out files.

A snippet of the two setups is attached below for reference, along with screenshots of the corresponding output folders.

Would you have any insights into what might cause RORB to behave this way?

Happy to provide the model files if that helps diagnose the issue.

Thanks,
Yanni

Hi Yanni,

The only thing I can think of is if those print nodes are set as interstation areas and there are only dummy reaches on that branch RORB may have issues with the lack of routing. If you run one of those storm files with the .catg file that doesn’t work, does it produce an output/temp file at all or any errors? That may give an indication on why RORB is failing.

Kind regards,

Benson
