why ausolve does not support material model for debris flow.

Hello experts I am working on debris flow simulation with dam break condition. I tried first with simply water than my fluid (debris). There are few doubts to understand 

1. I defined the air-water multiphase with outlet at downstream side but in the post processing my flow does leave the channel, or it was reversible type when i checked log file. It was showing following warning after each iteration how to fix this issue.

WARNING: inflow at outflow boundary: Outlet 1 (mass/time: in=-7.282052e-01, out=7.282179e-01)

2. when I replaced water to debris acusove exit with following error

I defined my fluid using density and viscosity vs strain rate in material model.

    Seems to be an issue with converting to cgns after the run.  Where do you intend to load the cgns file for post-processing?  You don't need that step to convert to cgns if you intend to view the results in HyperWorks CFD.
