If you are having problems getting your FESWMS model to run, you may want to consider trying the following:

• Transform your mesh so it is close to the origin (0,0). For some reason if the x and y coordinates are large and mesh element sizes are small, FESWMS can have problems.
  
• Try using the Steering Tool
  
• Make sure your mesh does not have incorrect elevation values (often due to extrapolation). Try looking at the mesh in a rotated view.
  
• Verify that wetting / drying is turned on in the FESWMS model control
  
• Is the problem a known issue with the version of FESWMS you are using?
