Just because the pump will generate a positive head at the set speed does not mean the flow will necessarily be forwards. What about the pressure differential across the pump in the service conditions? If back-pressure-differential (outpet pressure less suction pressure) exceeds the pump head, then the flow will go backwards.
I don't know how good the pump modelling is in SimHydraulics; but a complete pump model should have a characteristic in all four quadrants of the head/flow curve (all combinations of +/-ve head and flow).
