Hi,

I have a 2D model where I want to model flow in porous media (Darcy's law), mass transfert (solute transport + diffusion) and heat transfert (convection and conduction). However, when I try to solve them both together, because they are coupled, I get this following message:

Error:
Failed to find consistent initial values.

Undefined value found in the stiffness matrix.

Last time step is not converged.


What could the problem be ?

I have the same problem. you have to check your intial and boundary conditions

I had exactly the same error when I modeled a poroelastic model. and I found that the problem was in material properties. I had a wrong magnitude for poisson ratio and when I changed it is was Ok. check material properties or boundary conditions.

PS: how you did the coupling? because I want to model heat transfer in a porous media. but for that you should input the velocity of solute inside porous matrix.but for my model this velocity should be get form another poroelastic model which determine the velocity field inside matix when I apply cyclic presure on my system in each time step. that's why first I modeled a poroelastic model to calculate velocity field but I don't know how should I extract this velocity field in each time step and put it as a input for heat transfer model. in fact I don't know how to couple them!
