Hello,

I'm using "Laminar Flow" and "Transport of Diluted Species".

After I successfully simulated a few times, I just added "Rectangle" variable to inlet. I typed in the inlet as "10*rect1(t[1/s])".

After that I get the same message like this.

Failed to evaluate variable Jacobian.
- Variable: t
- Geometry: 1
- Boundary: 1 7 13 19 25

Please let me know if anyone knows how to solve it.

Thanks.

Hi

probably the rise time of your rectangle is too rapid, compared to the time stepping, and perhaps mesh density, particularly if you have diffusion with a rapid step.

Time stepping, mesh size and diffusivity must match to a certain degree, check your doc, or classical PDE textbooks on diffusion

Good luck
