Failed model regeneration in assembly

[thill-2]

I have designed several parts to be put into an assembly. My assembly came together perfectly, then for some reason when I went to re-open the file at a later time, all but 1 of my parts would not regenerate. When I look in the feature information, this is what I am presented with.

COMPONENT #5 (BOTTOM1) failed regeneration. Feature geometry is not up-to-date. Reasons for failure: Component model is missing.

I am sure that the model is in the correct location.

One thing I did shortly before this all happened was add a parameter "ID-string-(x)" to each individual part.

I can't even open the part file. I just get the message "(part name) could not be retrieved"

Does any one have any ideas about how to resolve this problem?

Hi,

part mentioned in message "(part name) could not be retrieved":

• can be corrupted -OR-
• has been saved in newer software version

You can check software version if you open part file in Wordpad - see picture.

Thank you for the response, but I have resolved the problem. For some reason my local storage (U:) drive had become disconnected. All I had to do was restart my computer and the problem solved itself.
