Empty parameter list

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi everyone,

I'm beginner to COMSOL and I'm modeling hyperthermia cancer treatment with magnetic nano particles. I'm using bioheat transfer for the body cells, mixture model for modeling nano particle mixture in the body, and electromagnetic waves to generate magnetic field in the nano particles.

when I press compute, the error "empty parameter list in stationary solution appears.

I don't know how to solve this problem and how to be sure that the modules are perfectly coupled.

help me please.

Hi atieye,

Go to the model library and under heat transfer module you will find medical technology, open the example on microwave cancer therapy. Its like what you are looking for.

good luck

I think you will have to check the equations you are working with. See what parameters(material properties) you need to solve those equations and check in material properties if you have entered some values for those parameters or not. Once you provide values to those parameters, you should not get this error.

Thanks to you Navid and Rajesh,
this error is now solved but now there is another problem.
When I press compute, each time COMSOL gives me a different contour even though I have not changed anything. I mean the 1st time, the temperature starts from 27 and ends at 160 degrees and the next time it starts from 37 and ends at 170 degrees.
Also derived values are random and don't make any sense.

Can you please help me with this error, it's driving me crazy

are you testing transient situation in this case make sure you have the same time on the plots. It doesn't make sense to get different values. Did you get the convergence? are you using external file as SAR (specific generation heat)?

I got the convergence, I have a time dependent step and an stationary one, can I email my model for you perhaps there is sth wrong with my version of COMSOL !!??
