OpenLCA 2.1 Crashing during calculations

Question

I recently updated to OpenLCA version 2.1, and it's started crashing when running calculations. I've tried running calculations both within the software, and externally to the software using the OLCA API, and in both cases it causes the software to crash. I currently have 10GB of memory allocated to OpenLCA on my machine, and have downloaded the libraries to speed up calculations as suggested in answers to previous, similar questions regarding the software crashing during calculations with version 2.0. When the software crashes, a text document is created, which reads: 

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

#

#  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x00007fffe3542af1, pid=7624, tid=18284

# The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.

I wondered if this was an issue related to the code running through the API, as that was how the calculations were initiated the first time a crash occurred, but manual initiation in the software also resulted in crashes. 

Comments

The source of my error was that some processes included in the modeled system had values of 0 for their output reference flows - finding those and getting rid of them solved my issues, so you could potentially start with looking for that.

These crashes typically come from a wrongly defined product system in your database, or an inconsistent database. If you validate the database, do you see any errors? Which database are you using? Do you see anything in the log file of openLCA? Thank you.
