This can be done by following these steps:  <br \/>1. Copy all the .mechdb files from the crashed project folder to a new location.   <br \/>2. Rename the file extension from .mechdb to .mechdat.   <br \/>3. Open a new WB project, drag and drop all .mechdat files into the new project page one by one. The project should now be reconstructed.    <br \/>4. Save the new project file and resume the simulation as usual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-157880","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-mechdb-file"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["06-06-2022 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_btv_view_count":["13015"],"_bbp_likes_count":["1"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/157880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/157880\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
