solving a two model problem

Hello everybody,
i am new to comsol and i have a problem with my model.
It is a problem that uses General Heat Transfer getting the value of a heat source (Q) from a Perpendicular Induction Currents model.
The problem is that, when i ask it to solve the problem for both models then i get at time zero (transient analysis) a temperature that is non-zero (and quite big) and that makes no sense.
However, when i solve it for General Heat Transfer model only it runs correct.
any idea why is this happening?

Hi
this might be linked to an initial condition (but might also be something else ;) So I usually check my initial conditions by
v3.5a: Solve - Get initial conditions
v4.x right clicking the "solver sub-node": "Dependent vaiables" and select "compute to here"
Then I look at my initial conditions, and adjust if possible to get a shape that already looks like my result (with linear gradients etc. becausestarting all from "0" is often rather tough for the solver), furthermore this gives me indications when a BC is missing or that I have made singularity regions/points

Good luck
