[Error] Failed to find consistent initial values - multiple electrode materials

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I am trying to simulate a lithium-ion battery with multiple intercalating cathode materials. I am using NMC 811 and LFP as the cathode materials in this model. I have followed the procedure as it is described in the COMSOL documentation: Lithium-ion battery with multiple intercalating electrode materials. The main difference is in the material I have used.

The figure below shows the "model builder" of my model:

I would be pleased to share the mph file if anyone could possibly sort this out.

The following is the displayed error upon solving:
