error in read 2dm file

hello
when i use a .2dm file to run my basement program i get the following error
Cannot open the grid file 'C:/Users/aseel\largemesh.2dm'

and this is my program

Re: error in read 2dm file

Hi aseel,

I would suggest you to first fix the warnings you get:

1) set a reference time in the special output block
2) set the boundaries in the hydraulics block (that is very important; if you do not do that you have two 'hydraulic walls' at the boundary)
3) do not set the real_time_factor to speed up your simulation! You need to define the real_time_factor = 1 only if you want to run the simulation in real time, otherwise the time step is calculated with the cfl parameter.

Another thing you could check is if the mesh file is in the same directory as the .bmc file.

Bests,

Matteo
