Hello,
I tried to study the joule heating on a simple suspended beam . The contact pads are made up of aluminium. The micro bridge heater is silicon carbide. When I tried to simulate in 3D, I am encountering the following error below.

Failed to find a solution.

System matrix is zero.
In Segregated Step 1:
Returned solution is not converged.
