Question: Differential system of equations taking to long to solve

Hello everyone,

I am having trouble with this a system of 12 differential equations with the respective 12 initial conditions. I try to usen dsolve with the "numeric" parameter but it stays "evaluating" forever. I tried a system of 10 equation and I got the correct answer, although the program stayed calculating for several minutes (more or less 5 minutes). Is the size of this system too much to handle for the program? 

This is the system of differential equations (sys) and the initial conditions (ics) that I am trying to solve:

What am I doing wrong? or is it that the program cannot handle such a large system? In that case, that would be dissappointing since I have to solve a similar system but with up to 22 differential equations and initial conditions so I am stuck...

Anyway, thank you very much for any guidance, and happy new year.
