Status Code:8 FILE_ERROR

Hello,

I am trying to simulate a 100N axial force at three locations on an assembly. Every time I try to run the solver, an error is encountered while the program is solving contact constraints. The error message states:

The Iterative Solver stopped.

Status code:8 FILE_ERROR

No result saved.

Any idea why I might be seeing this error, and what I should do differently?

Thanks,
