Linked file frustration

[jond]

Dear AUGI,

Why the hell does Revit always unload my linked structural models? I dont think anyone from the project team is doing this, so why does it always need to be reloaded?

My understanding is that this breaks copy/monitor if the link gets unloaded...

Would it be possible that you are using a version numer to appended to the file name ?
If file name is changed, link is broken. Besides that, never had an problem

Do you have the linked models on a workset that you are closing when you open your file? Are you opening the linked models while you have your project open? Are your linked models on a different network drive than your project?

I never experienced this issue, but I have seen others posting about it. Take a look at this reply in a a thread, which might help you diagnose what's going on:
