Error opening the file

I have just downloaded the last version of NetLogo, and when I try to open the model it says: "Expected nlogo to have 12 sections, this had 10" What is going on? Thank you!

The error while opening the model

Since the model was built in NetLogo 6.0.1 this might be the problem and solution. Although the two version 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 are 'compatible' the problem may be because of the model building 'procedure': part of the model was created in SDM than converted to 'regular' Netlogo. You can download the 6.0.1 version and try to open the model with it. Regards, The author
