How to resolve this error

Dear Sir,
when I modeled a small specimen in a fluid inside the cavity of microwave oven, I got the following error:
Time dependent Solver (sol/t1)
Failed to find consistent initial values
undefined or Inf found when solving linear system solver using SOR
Last step is not converged
Would someone help me how to fix the error.
Thanks,
Iman Hassaballa

Hi
it can be a few thinks , I believe, but by default the initial values are all set to "0" this is often quite far from the results, so often it's wiser to estimate what are about the results, and set up the initial conditions accordingly. I agree for complex geometries its rather difficult, so its a question of testing it out.
Then it couldbe that you are missing some BC (boundary conditions) or that some are contradictory

Good luck
