<p class=MsoNormal>It depends where you are in the process. If you are
getting a detailed sim report it should open to the errors part of the
report. If you aren't that far open the project BDL or INP files with
notepad. They will list warnings and errors as they are processed.
The error will be at the end, there may be contributing errors before.
All it really does is tell you where it kicked out, but it does provide clues.
When you run your simulation make sure the boxes are checked so it will run
through errors and warnings. You get better hints this way.<br>
