Errors with conjugate heat transfer...

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello

I am new to COMSOL and I am doing simple test model of natural convection of air around hot metal cylinder. I think, that I set everything properly (like volume force etc), physics is quite easy but after 2 or 3 iterations i get errors like this:

Failed to find consistent initial values.
Undefined value found.
NaN or Inf found when solving linear system using SOR.

or similar. When i change to dierct solver it keeps increasing memory allocation factor and nothing happends.

I tried to change mesh to courser or finer, tried different solvers and options and nothing helped.

I cannot attach my model in comsol, its too big, but I can send it on email if someone would like to help.

Please help me I really run out of ideas....
