Error while processing

Sir,

While computing the results for my model, I got an error which says

" Failed to find consistent initial values.
Segregated group 2

Out of memory during assembly.
Last time step is not converged.
- Feature : Time - Dependent solver 1 (sol1/t1)
- Error : Failed to find consistent initial values. "

Please let me know what would be the error and what are all the probable corrections to be made??

Hi

well the default initial condition all "0" is often far from optimal, why not think a little and try to add some more realistic initial conditions, or to start with a steady state to set a good starting point.

Anyhow, check your solver sub-nodes and fint the group 2 and see which variable is giving problems to the solver, then see what you can do with the initial conditions starting with those dependent variables

Good luck
