Hello there

In a first place, I must say that I'm quite new to CFD analysis, but I've read and done appropriate tutorials about CHT analysis.

My model is steel coil in which flow thermal oil. These heat exchanger is located in exterior similar to this shown in picture below.
Input/Output data is in .txt file in attachment.

Problem is that solver won't run, showing the comment:

Return value C0000005 >FFFF in parse_rv, treating as not-run.
I've tried doing it from the beginning, correcting and simplifying model but the error stays the same.

I suspect these two highlighted 2d regions fayed to inlet and outlet 2d regions, but I hadn't that error in exact situation in different model.

I would very appreciate any help.

I've changed solid domain between oil and fumes into thin surface interface model. Apparently, there is an solver error too:

Anyone could show me the way to overcome this?

Thanks

Problem solved
---------------
EDIT:
Apparently, it's not. I mean, sometimes it appears sometimes not. Could it have something in common with static/total temperature? On inlet boundaries I use cartesian velocities.
