All,
if you read the previous you will know I am havinginconsistantmeshing problems. Well, when I do get a mesh and ananalysis torun.  The thermal analysis will reach 95%completion oniteration 1 and just sit there.  It stayed atthat same pointfor 14 hours before I killed it.  The model isonly 44 parts. So not that large.  

Could the solver be getting stuck in a local minima?  

Please add some insight.  SolidworksSimulation
