Hi!

I am new to SolidWorks 2014, but I have read through the documentation on Flow Simulation.

I am attempting to complete this online tutorial from another university for my professor.

https://community.dur.ac.uk/g.l.ingram/download/SolidWorksFlowSimulation.pdf

However, when I try to run the simulation (pg. 6 of 7) it gives the error, "SOLVER ABNORMALLY TERMINATED"

Does anyone know why this is?  Please help.

Thank you.

Maybe this will help.  I highlighted the error code in red.  The EFDsolver file says:
