Failed to find consistent initial values. Matrix has zero on diagonal. Last time step is not converged

Hi,

I get the error:

Failed to find consistent initial values.
Matrix has zero on diagonal.
Last time step is not converged

when running the simulation in attachment: a solenoid with three turns is made of copper and experiences a current of 1 A (defined as External Current Density). The domain around the solenoid is air. The physics is MF, and the model is in 3D (necessary for further development). The error remain also if the solenoid has only one turn or if it is substitued with a closed loop (torus).

Thanks a lot for any suggestion

Camillo
