Hi everybody!
I'm researching on the the "free flooding" phenomenon in filling with water a sealine initially full of air at the pressure of 1 atm.
The OLGA simulation stops when the water reaches a geometric "peak" of the pipeline.
The error message is: "pressure below table values in branch".
When I create an OLGA Input File using PVTsim, I define the pressure and temperature range that the OLGA table will cover. As "Minimum Pressure" I enter the minimum value allowed: 0.01bara.
Does anybody know how can I avoid this problem?

Thank you in advance!
