Failed to find consistent initial values.
Last time step is not converged.
-Feature: Time-Dependent Solver 1 (sol1/t1)
-Error: Failed to find consistent initial values.
I believe this is related to the Electron Mobility Value in the Electron Density and Energy Tab of the Plasma Model 1 feature in the Inductively Coupled Plasma Physics in the Model Builder Window.
The value for mu_e of 4E24/icp.Nn shows up in orange with the warning:
Deduced unit is [m^3], expected is [m^2/(V*s)]
I have tried running the completed model from the comsol site with the same result.
Has anyone experienced this error?
