Good day to you,

I'm working on a isothermal liquid model, in which a double acting piston is first extended and later retracted. In the first 3 seconds of the simulation, orifice P-B and A-T are open and the piston is in the left end position. Then the "303" valve switches the open orifice to P-A and B-T and the piston moves to the right end position. This works just fine if the "initial piston displacement from chamber A"- parameter is set to 0mm.

If I try to change the initial position of the piston to something else however (e.g 125mm which is the middle position), the following error message pops up:

From my understanding and from what I could gather online it seems that this has something to do with rapid changes in the physical network. I have tried all sorts of things like changing solver, step size and tolerance settings, changing initial liquid pressure in the actuators chambers, changing the dead volume but all to no avail.

Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

I have attached the .slx file below, thanks in advance.
