Inability to save Fluent calculation/simulation

  Hello all,
  
  I have been attempting to simulate a cooling system, however, upon exiting the Fluent program after having done the simulation I receive the following error:
  
  Error: access: unbound variable
  
  Error Object: set-var!
  
  This error prevents me from going back into the workshop and opening the results since it detects a "partial save". This prompts me to reload the save from before entering the mesh into Fluent.
  
  Now, I find this error quite vague. Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction where I need to look in order to solve this error?
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Assuming there aren't any "odd" characters in the path or file name try exporting case & data and opening Fluent in Standalone mode.

  Good to hear. Not sure why it's happening though. Which version of Fluent, and are you saving with legacy or h5 format?
