I'm working on simulating a speedline of a centrifugal compressor with a volute. I have a CFX setup and change mass flow rate with a parameter table of design points. I ran the whole speedline over the weekend with no errors. However, when I set a different design point as current to continue running that specific point a little longer, I get an object reference not set to an instance of an object error. This error does not occur when I have the original design point as current and try to continue the original design point solution. The complete error output is as follows:

Code:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I've read a few threads that said they fixed their error running ANSYS as an administrator or deleting the contents of the AppData/Roaming/ANSYS folder, but that has not worked for me. Any idea what could be causing this error or how I can avoid it in the future?
