I am trying to analyze flow simulation and comfort parameters in a relatively bigger classroom (40*30*3 m^3) with 30 central diffuser as an air-conditioning inlet, many heating (surface source) component such as PCs and ceiling lights and students themselves. However, every time I run the simulation it stuck in prepare modelling. It has been stuck for more than 4 hours and I terminated it. My laptop has I7 processor with 8gb of RAM. Is the computer capacity not enough. In order to get preliminary result, I haven't considered several effect such as mesh refinement, heat conduction in solid and radiation. What seem to be the problem here?
Please suggest.

sounds like your model needs a check
here is a good start SolidWorks Quick Tip - 4 Things to Do Before Every Flow Simulation Analysis
i would also recommend starting simpler. start with just the room. then add some components...etc
This will also help you identify which components are causing you issues
