Spaces in directory structures are generally not recommended, and starting labels with numbers can cause problems. Fluent was written for UNIX originally and some of the conventions carried over into the current builds. These rarely catch staff out as we either used UNIX when starting out (PCs were no where near powerful enough) or were taught by those who started out with UNIX. 

Similarly, running on non local discs may not be ideal as data packet delays over the network may cause corruption when writing large files. 

I don't recognise P_DRAG, P_SAFFMAN_LIFT_FORCE or P_VIRTUAL_MASS_FORCE, so assuming they're in the code make sure you include the appropriate headers.Â
