model crashed by Failed to evaluate temporary symbolic derivative variable

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi there,

I used the two coupled PDEs (one is for moisture flow and another one is heat transfer) to simulate water flow, heat transfer and phase change in the frozen soil. At the beginning, the simulation is running good, but finally crashed.

BTW, the volumetric water (comp1.w) fluctuated all the time. It is some strange.....

Could you give me some suggestions to deal with below errors? Thanks you very much!
