      You may not be able to recover the most recent version of the model, but you should be able to go back to a slightly older version by playing back one of the journal files from your previous SpaceClaim session Journals record the actions you performed while creating your design, including file actions, such as closing a design. You must play back a journal from a fresh SpaceClaim session to avoid errors. SpaceClaim records journal information automatically to SpaceClaim journal files, which can be found in one of the following directories: C:UsersAppDataRoamingSpaceClaimJournal Files on Vista systems C:Documents and SettingsApplication DataSpaceClaimJournal Files on XP systems The link below from the SpaceClaim Help documentation shows how to activate and use journalling in SpaceClaim: https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/SpaceClaim/v192/en/Default.htm
