That's an empty file.

Where did you get it from?

Hi

That is my model which I have worked on several weeks. I do not know why I open it and see nothing there after restarting my computer. Can it be recovered?

Best,
Kai

It's a blank file, there is nothing there to recover.

Do you have any other files in the same folder? One of those might have something that can be recovered. Or did you have the backup path set up in Vensim?

I don't think I set the backup path in Vensim. But I do have a file in the same folder. The original file is not allowed to attahced (don't know why), so I zip it and attached.
