any case no matter whether an output file was

step Check optiSLang version when opening a project: A
confirmation dialog is shown if a project created
with a different optiSLang version is opened. The
user may continue with the new version or cancel to
open the project instead again. Because of algorithm

calculations of unfinished systems in the current
