I am new to Simulink and Simscape. I am trying to model a helium distribution system. I have been using two constant volume chambers (source and destination tanks) connected via a variable area orifice. The orifice serves as a flow control valve. This system has been working.
I now want to add a constant area orifice on the output of my source tank directly in front of the variable area orifice (my valve). When I add the second orifice the model bombs stating "Nonlinear solver: Linear Algebra error. Failed to solve using iteration matrix. Initial conditions solve failed to converge".
This seems like such a simple change. I think I have missed some fundamental concept for simscape modeling. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Phillip
