Help with 'Undefined value found in the stiffness matrix' error!

I am trying to build a model that first constructs a temperature field, and then uses that temperature in a second study that has a temperature dependent viscoelasticity. The end result I'm hoping for is a time and temperature dependent displacement. I have been using the library model 'viscoelastic_tube' as a guide.
However, when I try and run the second study I get the following error:
Undefined value found.
- Detail: Undefined value found in the stiffness matrix.
• There are 111 equations giving NaN/inf in the matrix rows for the variable mod1.solid.qPHIPHI1
at coordinates...
• There are 111 equations giving NaN/inf in the matrix rows for the variable mod1.solid.qRR1
at coordinates...
• There are 111 equations giving NaN/inf in the matrix rows for the variable mod1.solid.qRZ1
at coordinates...
and similarly for the degrees of freedom, Nan/Inf in the matrix columns.
- Feature: Time Dependent Solver 1(sol2/t1)
- Error: Undefined value found
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
James.

I'm facing the same problem with a Heat Transfer / fluid flow Problem. Did you find the error in the meantime?
Thanks to anyone who can help,
