Time dependency does not compute

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi again,

In another one of my tests I seem to be having trouble with moving to a time-dependent step. Open up the Helmholtz coils model from the tutorial. delete the stationary step and add a time dependent step instead, and compute. It gives me the Failed to find consistent initial values error. What's going on?

Hi

have you checed that you deleted and reinitiated the solver section correctly, as well as checking if the physics you are using is compatible with time dependent solving ?

Good luck

the reinitiation of the solver section was done correctly, and of course AC/DC works in Time dependent. what can be the cause of inconsistent initial values?

Hi

receck your BC's, or just rebuild the model from scratch, something must have gone wrong in there (should though ;)
