Hi

In trying to solve a FEA analysis of an assembly I get this error:

The Iterative Solver stopped.
Status code:8 FILE_ERROR
No result saved.

I have searched the forums and other sites, but I have not been able to find a solution. Below is the status of the simulation when it stops.
My system is i7-4771 with 16GB ram and 17GB fee on local harddrive (its an SSD) I also tried running it from a network dirve with 156GB free. Solidworks Premium 2012, windows Professional SP1.

The simulation is assembly with a number of connected parts and a mesh of  ~1,7 million nodes.This is the first simulation I've attempted on this machine. The simulation runs on another machine in the office with the same specs. I have checked and can run simulations of very simple models.

Any help is greatly appreciated
