Problem on solving the usual ''Failed to find consistent initial values.''

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,
I have the usual message: ‘’failed to find consistent initial values’’.
Most often, I work out of this problem by checking boundary condition, mesh, Initial values, ect…

But this time, I have a weird issue (Note: I use the Thermal Stress physic.) :
When I check the Initial Values by computing the Dependent Variables, I have several holes of data, like if there were nothing calculated in these areas of the CAD. The plot I'm looking at is Mises Stress.

I checked parameter that generally solve this problem: Mesh, Material definitions, B.C., solver and I found nothing revealing.

Does anyone have a cue for something I might not see?

Regards,
