Hi
what is meant by this error"repeated error test failures, may have reached singularity" and at what place does the error come from? from mesh, geometry, or what? i try to model DC Discharge plasma jet model

"Repeated error test failures. May have reached a singularity.
Time : 7.299997707294361e-006 Last time step is not converged."
============================

I have moved the toy electrostatics ES example (circular plate capacitor) over to EC. Warning: zero AIR conductivity will cause bizarre numerical errors in the field system without any warning. Make sigma small but finite!

I apply a step voltage pulse at 4us to terminal. computes OK.
I apply a pulse on at 4us, off at 7us I get the error. Takes 10 minutes to fail.
revert to step voltage computes OK.

I have looked here. I have looked in help. Can't find anything meaningful. I have no clue what to do about it.

thanks
