(OP)
I have had several unsuccessful attempts at obtaining results from my model.  My model is not that complex but the CPU time is sooo slow.  I'm lucky if I get 1-5 iterations in a 2 to 3 hour period.  I've set the gap size at 1 or 2 and reset the computational domain to better fit my model.  Should I keep the computational domain at what Floworks sets it at?  I also reset the minimum wall thickness to around .25" to .5" since my part is thin.  My computer is a 2.4 with 1.0GB of RAM.  Thanks!

You also might try had refining your mesh. I found that to vastly speed things up when I was doing piping work with .032"-304L
