The process I created passed, but there are quite a few warnings. How can I get rid of them? Block: A Model: RADFRAC *** SEVERE ERROR: A liquid feed/pump circuit around the top stage is required when “Q1=0” is specified in “COL-SPECS”; the required feed/pump circuit has zero flow. * WARNING: The rest of the block has been bypassed due to this severe error.

I don’t know how to upload the file. .

Try giving a initial value to the tearing flow rate; it indicates that the circulation flow rate is zero

No need, I get it. There are many fewer errors now. Thank you.:lol
