Hi everyone;

I am trying to get up to speed with SAM, as I have just started a day
ago.

When simulating, I get this simulation error. I feel as if I am doing
everything correctly, but then again, there always seems to be
something I miss. If anyone could give me a direction on debugging, I
would greatly appreciate it.


Thanks,
Dustin S., Mech. Eng. Student

Please delete; I figured it out.
