Hi guys, I'm using flow simulation on a rear wing I designed for my school's Formula SAE car. I have two elements and two early iteration endplates. For whatever reason, when I go to start flow-sim for the assembly, solidworks decides to crash out. We're using the 2011-2012 student version of solidworks. The flow simulatino seem to work fine when it's used for a single part. The rear wing I'm doing the simulation is fully defined as well. Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks

At what point does it crash out? Does it crash when you add Flow in or does it crash once you start to run the simulation?
I have found that assemblies can become corrupt over time and in some instances have been forced to go back to an older version of the assembly I had archived.
If that is not the problem and it is crashing during adding Flow in, I would check for interferences and invalid contacts. Those can cause crashing.
