Click and monitor the goal plots. The simulation finishes when the goal plots flatten out and achieve convergence.

Example for ball valve:

The SolidWorks Flow Simulation 2012 Tutorial PDF is an official training manual accompanying SolidWorks Flow Simulation, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool integrated into SolidWorks. Released during the 2012 version (part of the Dassault Systèmes portfolio), this tutorial targets:

: This means your internal model is not airtight. Use the Tools > Flow Simulation > Tools > Check Geometry tool to find leaks, or use the Create Lids tool to cap open pipe ends. solidworks flow simulation 2012 tutorial.pdf

Is there at least one inlet boundary condition and one outlet boundary condition?

What (e.g., valve, heat sink, drone wing) are you trying to simulate? – If you have a valid SolidWorks 2012
