Mitch, Thanks for the reply. The contact formulation is on “Program controlled”. Looking in the file.cnm that’s generated, it looks like it chose MPC. Thoughts on a specific formulation? What’s odd is I can run this model with fewer RPs and get it to solve with no complaints. Once I get in the 20’s or so for the number of RPs, I get the mode mismatch message. I really thought this must be a memory issue, but I’m running on a machine with 1TB. Currently working with tech support, but no progress… Thanks, Jim [cid:image001.png@01DB1BB1.C73A7520] James J.
