Hi I am very new to python coding and have been struggling with this for a while I cannot see the reason for this error! Any help will be greatly appreciated. Here is the code that is causing this error: import arcpy import numpy as np import math from arcpy.sa import * # Input DEM input_raster = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) # Output output_raster = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) # Input Discharge mean_discharge = float(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)) # Input number of timesteps input_timestep = int(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3)) arcpy.overwriteOutput = True arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\SedMod\SedMod\Workspace.gdb" arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace = r"C:\SedMod\SedMod\Workspace.gdb" actual_timestep = 0 while actual_timestep < input_timestep: # Slope calculation # Set local variables out_measurement = "PERCENT_RISE" # Check out the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension license arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial") #Execute Slope out_slope = Slope(input_raster, out_measurement) # Convert to gradient slope_raster = out_slope / 100 input_raster = slope_raster actual_timestep = actual_timestep + 1 new_elevation.save(output_raster) There is a lot of code I have taken out that does some more geoprocessing which then alters the DEM to go back into the calculation. The error I am getting is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\SedMod\SedMod\Slope1.py", line 47, in <module> out_slope = Slope(input_raster, out_measurement, ) File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\sa\Functions.py", line 5523, in Slope z_factor) File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\sa\Utils.py", line 47, in swapper result = wrapper(*args, **kwargs) File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\sa\Functions.py", line 5518, in wrapper z_factor) File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\geoprocessing\_base.py", line 498, in <lambda> return lambda *args: val(*gp_fixargs(args, True)) RuntimeError: ERROR 010240: Could not save raster dataset to C:\SedMod\SedMod\Workspace.gdb\numpy_ras6 with output format FGDBR.
