Initialization error reading old-style forcing file

I extended a model's mesh and converted/extended the inputs (winds, boundary conditions, bathymetry). The previous model works fine, but the new model gives this error while initializing:
** INFO   : Opened file : regional.ext
** ERROR  : Expected property quantity  for boundary definition
** INFO   : Closed file : regional.ext

I don't have any boundaries defined in regional.ext. Has anyone troubleshot this error before?

Dear Coby,

In the 'regional_bnd.ext', the quantity of the first boundary condition is missing. I hope this solves your error.

Additionally, Delft3D FM can have issues with working with both the old and the new style external boundary conditions. Thus, if your model is still not able to run after implementing the quantity, please use only the old style or only the new style external forcings file.

Kind regards,
Tjitske
