Can I run my .adm with Requests and a flex body in Fortran Solver?

I'm trying to run my ADAMS model with Solver to get my Requests files created. This has worked fine until I added a flex body. Now I get an mtx failure message about not having access to the folder. However, the mtx file was created. When I try to run the adm file in Solver, I get a Windows error that Solver has failed. Is this likely a corrupt mtx file, or something else? Is there something I should look for in the mtx file to see if that's the problem?

    You sad it was working with requests file until you add flex body. Did you try with flex body without requests. Also check chapter in adams/flex documentation about possible limitations of using fortran solver with flex bodies (force limitations, joints limitations,...)

    Thanks, Martin and Jozef for responding.  I think the problem was that I only have one Flex license and I happened to have the model still open in View when I tried to run Solver.​  I closed View and it worked.  I just wish there were better diagnostic messages.  I'm running ADAMS 2013.
