I recently searched for postings on a Flow Simulation/COSMOS Flow Works error: "Face <1>@Lid-1 is not laying on the boundary between solid and fluid region" as I was having the same problem.
I got it to work by suppressing parts one-by-one and plugging the openings with lids until Flow Simulation worked, and found that the error arose (in my case) due to 0.003-in gaps that I put in between my valve components.
My main reference was the "SolidWorks Flow Simulation 2010 Tutorial", under the example "Determination of Hydraulic Loss":
"To ensure the model is fully closed click Flow Simulation, Tools, Check Geometry. Then click Check to calculate the fluid and solid volumes of the model. If the fluid volume is equal to zero, the model is not closed."
"Click Fluid Volume to see the volume that will be occupied by fluid in the analysis." (If successful the fluid volume turns dark-blue.)
