I was trying to simulate a lithium ion battery problem with COMSOL 3.2a, trying to see the same effect presented in the following reference:

Premanand Ramadass, Capacity Fade Analysis of Commercial Li-ion Batteries[D], USA: University of South Carolina, 2003.

In my modified model, when the simulation starts it reports

Error:
Time 0:
Failed to find consistent initial values.
Power_of_negative
Function: power
Failed_to_evaluate_expression
Expression: diff(((+(ep*sigma*phi1x)*test(phi1x)+(ap*kp*(c1maxp-theta*c1maxp)^alpha*(theta*c1maxp)^alpha*c2^alpha*(exp(alpha*F*eta/R/T)-exp(-alpha*F*eta/F/T)))*test(phi1)-0)*dvol),phi1_test)

Last time step is not converged.

I am a new user, don't know how to do this problem

Thanks.
Wencheng Li.

hello,

The error, Failed to find consistent initial values, has been dispeared by modifying boundary conditions.

But 'error in residual computation' arose. maybe I need to fit the value of parameters.

The error, Last time step is not converged, is still there.

Hello,

I am experimenting similar issues.
My error message is following.

Did you solve your previous issue? If so, I could be interested how you did.

I am also a new user, an advice would be more than welcome.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you need additional informations, thanks in advance.

Yannick

Hi,

I am a new user and having the same problem. If i refine my mesh the error takes longer to appear. I am not sure what this means except it is an error in convergence since my value being raised to the exponent should never be negative. I am assuming that if you put a logical statement somewhere to prevent this it should be cured.

Thanks
Alex

Hi,
I am a new user.I am also having the same problem,If u resolved the problem before,please help me to get right...

My error code is
