      This often means that there isn’t enough memory on the computer being used to run the simulation. The fix is to increase voxel size (reducing the resolution) to decrease the amount of memory needed. Doubling the voxel size reduces the memory required by a factor of 8, i.e. 1/8th the amount of memory is needed.
