Answer: Please check the modelsharing.log. If there are warnings like this: 

 

WARNING: Found a copy of the model folder under the actual model folder.

 

it means you have a shared model located inside another model. This could result in very long file paths that exceed Windows limits. To resolve the problem, you need to move the model to another folder (such as C:\TeklaStructuresModels\). Then open the model and retry write out.
