While trying to calculate a job, an error message pops up saying the following

Error in processing data of calculation;

-If this is a grid, uncheck 'Autopeak' and try again or,

-Confirm the node you set as the calculation source node exists in your input or,

- Check for incorrect values in your densities, areas or pressures

Solutions:

1.
Cause:

Along with the listed issues noted;

-If this is a grid, uncheck 'Autopeak' and try again or,

-Confirm the node you set as the calculation source node exists in your input or,

- Check for incorrect values in your densities, areas or pressures

Other issues found;

Common Elevation value with decimal places
Solution:

- Uncheck the autopeak option

- Source node noted in the calculation setup window does not exist in the input screen

- Mistyped value in the density, area, or pressure (ie. 0.1.0 density or area of A100, etc)

- Older generated calculations (.WX1) may have 3 or more decimal places entered.  Latest version only reads 2 decimal places.  Click in the Common Elevation box, then press TAB.  The common elevation may round to 3 decimal places.  If not, you may have to use no decimal places and round up to the next whole number

Technically, if all the nodes have an elevation, there's no need to use Common Elevation anyway, so it can be set to 0
2.
Cause:

manual input of a 0 length pipe
Solution:

make pipe a real length
