Hi. Lately I have had trouble saving my projects. I get the following error when I try to save: Exception report produced at 2017-03-21 11:06:42 Undefined system error raised at: 2017-03-21 11:02:24 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Message added: Cannot open a file with that name 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Exception raised in: Failed to store file to archive. 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Message added: 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Exception raised in: Rvea0176:cArchivist:TryToProvideInformativeErrorFromZipOperation 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Message added: Could not store the project inventory to the archive 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Exception raised in: Rvea0176:cArchivist:StoreInventory 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Message added: Could not save the hierarchy file 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Exception raised in: Rvea0176: cHierarchyFilter:SaveHierarchyFile 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Message added: Could not save a WAsP workspace to file 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Exception raised in: Rvea0176:cWaspWorkspace:PreserveToFile 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Message added: Could not save the workspace 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Exception raised in: WAsP:cWorkspaceController:SaveTheWorkspace 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Message added: Could not process the file menu item 2017-03-21 11:02:24: Exception raised in: WAsP:fMainform:ProcessFileMenuClickReturnTrueForUnload 2017-03-21 11:03:02: Message added: Could not adjust the horizontal split 2017-03-21 11:03:02: Exception raised in: WAsP: fMainform:AdjustToHorizontalSplitterPosition 2017-03-21 11:03:41: Message added: Could not adjust the horizontal split 2017-03-21 11:03:41: Exception raised in: WAsP: fMainform:AdjustToHorizontalSplitterPosition 2017-03-21 11:03:41: Message added: Could not adjust the horizontal split 2017-03-21 11:03:41: Exception raised in: WAsP: fMainform:AdjustToHorizontalSplitterPosition 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Message added: Cannot open a file with that name 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Exception raised in: Failed to store file to archive. 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Message added: 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Exception raised in: Rvea0176:cArchivist:TryToProvideInformativeErrorFromZipOperation 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Message added: Could not store the project inventory to the archive 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Exception raised in: Rvea0176:cArchivist:StoreInventory 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Message added: Could not save the hierarchy file 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Exception raised in: Rvea0176: cHierarchyFilter:SaveHierarchyFile 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Message added: Could not save a WAsP workspace to file 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Exception raised in: Rvea0176:cWaspWorkspace:PreserveToFile 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Message added: Could not save the workspace 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Exception raised in: WAsP:cWorkspaceController:SaveTheWorkspace 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Message added: Could not process the file menu item 2017-03-21 11:06:34: Exception raised in: WAsP:fMainform:ProcessFileMenuClickReturnTrueForUnload Latest thread started in: WAsP:fProgressMonitor:Form_Load It seems like if I create a new project and copy paste everything so I get an identical workspace it saves the new file correctly. Anyone have an idea? I'm using WAsP 11.5

Ok. How do I get around it?

For anyone wondering the same thing. I found a more efficient way by creating the layout externally in QGIS. There I made a grid of points in a vector layer on my map which can be easily rotated and manipulated. I then exported the coordinates, then copying and pasting into WAsP using the "insert sites from the clipboard" feature from the right click menu in a wind farm.

Thank you for the reply Morten. That might be the explanation. I will experiment a little bit more. Also. I'm sometimes getting error messages when I try to open my workspaces in Fuga. Could you enlighten me on what they mean? The errors look like this. Exception occurred in Fuga-64 'allWakesAndFarmAvail' routine while checking windfarm availability Tlogger.stop>MemoryUsed>Range check error or Exception occurred in Fuga-64 'ComboBox2Change' routine Tlogger.stop>MemoryUsed>Range check error Among other routines(showCombinedWakeProfile, etc.) All seem to be related to different routines, but they end in >MemoryUsed>Range check error. Does this have to do with my computers RAM?

Sometimes I see negative wake effects. Especially when looking at the production tab and showing results by sector. How should I interpret these?

I'm currently designing a very big park, and I want to place lots of turbines quickly. I also want to tweak and adjust the layout by moving/rotating whole arrays to optimise production. But I find WAsP a bit intimidating to work with in this issue. As far as I know, there are two ways to place turbines. By entering coordinates, or by ctrl-dragging. And I can't seem to mark and ctrl-drag several turbines at once. For a software with this calculation potential, is there no easier way to "design" the layout? What method are you guys using to quickly place multiple arrays in correct alignment?
