I am attempting to calibrate an ArcSWAT model in SWAT-CUP. The program runs without issue when a monthly time step is selected, but stalls during the first simulation when I select daily time step within SUFI2_extract.rch.def. I have confirmed/checked the following:

  • My pcp and tmp input files cover daily for the full year
  • file.cio reflects the full year (IDAF=1 and IDAL=366)
  • the daily timestep is indicated under IPRINT and in the extract_rch.def file
  • My parameters are within range
  • The correct data range (the warm-up years are excluded) is reflected in extract_rch.def file
  • My formatting/inputs work when a monthly time step is selected
  • I am starting with only 5 iterations and 4 parameters to test the process, I will expand on this once everything else is figured out

Does anyone have suggestions for what else might be the problem and how I might troubleshoot this issue? Thank you in advance.
