Error 99998
Autodesk Moldflow typically means the solver (Insight) cannot find a valid license to start the analysis. This often happens because the license server is unreachable, the license file is missing the solver component, or the local license configuration is incorrect. 🛠️ Quick Troubleshooting Checklist
- Symptom: Solver fails immediately; log references invalid face ID.
- Investigation: After design changes, the original gate face was deleted; gate still references an old face in the setup.
- Fix: Reassign gate to the current face or recreate the inlet; rerun simulation successfully.

Prevention Tips
- Check injection locations, runner/runnerless setups, vents, and pack/hold settings for correctness.
- Reduce extremes: lower injection speed/pressure, increase melt/cool times, or relax convergence tolerances for testing.
- Temporarily turn off advanced features (e.g., fiber orientation coupling) to isolate the cause.
