[esp-r] Re: Errors: 'matching contig' & 'not defined'

[Jon Hand]

This is not an issue with not-yet-defining boundary conditions.  What is signals
is that the information in the zone geometry files does not match the master
list of surfaces in the model *.cnn file.  The interface suggests that you
clear the current topology - please do this ASAP.  A corrupt model will
not get any better if you continue to add to it.

Subject: [esp-r]  Errors: 'matching contig' & 'not defined'

Hi,

When I open my model in ESP-r I get an error message saying 'Model topology (surface connections) is inconsistent.' The error details are at the end of this e-mail.

When I open Topology I get: Topology list dangerously inconsistent. Suggest you clear the current topology!

I think this is because I have not yet attributed any boundary conditions but I want to make sure that this is not due to any errors in 'Geometry & attribution'.

My plan is to first enter all the geometric data along with construction attributes and define the boundary conditions for all surfaces of all zones right at the end.

This, however, I can only do if I am sure that the errors result from the absent boundary conditions. How should I proceed?
