Laminar flow and Heat transfer

$

Hello guys!

I am facing a problem with Laminar flow and Heat Transfer in Fluids modules. I have found some examples regarding these modules, where in the boundary conditions of the Laminar Flow the "Pressure, no viscous stress" was selected.

For my program, I would like to use in the Boundary Condition section the "Laminar inflow" with a Flow rate given by the user. But in this case, I get the error message "Failed to find consistent initial values".

I have found discussions about this topic: https://www.comsol.com/forum/thread/25297/failed-to-find-consistent-initial-values?last=2017-09-04%2016%3A38%3A20 and I have tried all these suggestions, but none of them worked.

Can somebody help me, how should I put those initial values? I can put some velocity and pressure there, no flow rate.

The final goal is to see the influence of a gas flow in the temperature of a heated body (metallic filament), which is situated in a pipe through which we apply the gas flow.

Thanks for every help!
