I have the minimum set at 125psi. Shouldn&amp;#39;t it be finding a value that is above this? 
 Any ideas on how to avoid this?

Then, I would expect the optimization feature to resolve the failure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You may want to double check that an appropriate maximum precompression value is entered and that the max precompression (not the min precompression) is the source of the failure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you would like us to review the optimized design, please ZIP the .cpt file with the PTOpt folder saved in the same directory and upload the file using our &lt;a href="/help/w/be_communities_help/7079/communities-secure-file-upload"&gt;Secure File Upload&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
