Error message while simulating cooling of electronic chip

I am new to COMSOL and Heat transfer physics. I created an Air Box for cooling my antenna system and electronic chip, where the fluid is Air (Laminar flow) with mean inlet velocity to be 0.1m/s. (No slip boundary condition along the walls) (Used NON-Isothermal flow multiphysics coupling laminar and heat transfer in solids and fluids). I wanted to make a parametric analysis by changing this inlet velocity and observe the temperature difference.

However except for 0.1 m/s velocity I am receiving the following error for other inlet velocity. I am not sure what this means and what I need to change?. It would be great if someone can help me with this
