MATLAB: Error using pde.EquationModel/solveStationaryNonlinear (line 104) Stepsize too small.

nonlinear pdePartial Differential Equation Toolbox

I am solving this system of PDEs with diritchlet boundry conditions and It does not converge, and gives me this error.

Error using pde.EquationModel/solveStationaryNonlinear (line 104)
Stepsize too small.

Do you know how can I solve it.

Are you giving nonzero initial conditions for the solution? It looks like your equations might be singular where the solution gradient is zero, so your initial conditions should avoid those areas.

Just a guess,

One should be able to specify boundary conditions on all external boundaries of any geometry.

 For example, look at the “A scattering problem” example in the documentation. It has a Neumann condition at the outer boundary and a Dirichlet condition at the inner boundary (that is formed by the square sub-region).

Boundary conditions on internal boundaries such as boundaries across which material properties or governing equations might change are not required by Finite Element method.

MATLAB: My plot is distorted and too small.

Experiment with the 'Position' property of your figure window. See the documentation on the Position — Location and size of figure, excluding borders, title bar, menu bar, and tool bars property in the Figure Properties documentation.
