Are you modeling the column as theoretical stages or as trays with efficiencies applied? It is better to use theoretical stages so that the top vapor will be at its dew point.

Thanks for letting us know the result. Theoretical stages are so much easier to use in simulations once you can adjust your mind to think that way. There are some situations where tray efficiency can be useful such as two side draws very close to each other, but even then I try to use theoretical stages if at all possible and make adjustments using 'engineering judgment' or additional detailed calculations after the main model converges. When building distillation models, I found it helpful to map actual trays to theoretical stages in a spreadsheet. When trays are numbered from the bottom up and stages numbered from the top down and the condenser is a full stage but not a tray it can get confusing trying to figure out which stage gets the feed and which stages have temperature measurements in the field. I think the software developers might provide a bit more help in this area, but they do a pretty good job with the tools and the answers are only as good as the inputs we give.
