Hi,

I am using conjugate heat transfer module(laminar)

There are two parts in my geometry

1. heat generating solid

2. air

I want to simulate 3d natural convection of air due to heat generating solid

But i got error message "problem setting up multigrid"

Can you help?

Hi,

Most likely you need to decrease the coarsening factor of the multigrid, it is set to 2 as a standard. You need to lower the value until the coarser mesh does not give you problem.
Be careful BEFORE re-running the multigrid you need o manually delete the temporary meshes Comsol created otherwise it will still give you error.

Cheers
