  I am new to Ansys and am trying to run a simple CFD model of water flowing though a pipe (model attached). Every time I run the model it freezes at 70% with "calculating physics" as the title. I have yet to be able to run a successful model.
  
  Could someone please review and let me know if Im doing something wrong or if it a problem with my computer/license.

  We might need more information about the mesh and the solver that you're using for the simulation. If you could upload the workbench archive file, we would be able to direct you better.

  I tried downloading the zip file and it contains only the .wbpj file which is of no use without the accompanying folder containing all the necessary setup files.
  
  To create and share a workbench archive file, please refer: Saving & sharing of Working project files in .wbpz format
