Why refine mesh does not work

I am working on solving couples of equations in PDE time dependent, general form with COMSOL 3.5A. When I used initialize mesh, it worked very well. However when I use refine mesh or define a free mesh parameters, it can not run completely. I suppose the refine mesh only accurate the results, why it would influence the process, and what should I do if I want to refine mesh? Thank you for your attention.

Hi,

maybe your machine is just running out of memory with the fine mesh.

Thank you for your reply. However, I have checked it, acturally it was not out of memory, so I am wondering the reason.

Perhaps you are refining the mesh in the wrong places. How are you refining ? Have you tried the automatic mesh refinement and let comsol refine for you ? This only works for free mesh, but it does a great job of it !
