[TRNSYS-users] Error: Active layer



Hi everyone,
 
I just came across a problem with Type 56. I had an active layer defined previously with specifications according to the related guidelines in TRNSYS document (6.2.4.2.3). While I was trying out different combinations of pipe diameters and spacing with the flow rates, I closed the bui file before changing the thickness of the layer above the pipes (which needs to be greater than 0.3*spacing). Now when I try to reopen my bui file, I get a window with 'error reading bui file' saying thickness of layer adjacent to active layer is too small. When I click OK, the file closes. How do I change this thickness in the bui file if I can't opn it?
 
I appreciate the help.
 
Thank you,
