Melting-Solidification

Hey there,

I am trying to model a latent heat storage system. My simulation works just fine with no phase change. But as soon as I try to simulate this phase change, I get an error befor the simulation even starts running.

Error:

Warning: "ALU-Körper/Wärmespeicher (Part PCM).1" interface type star.common.ContactInterface is incompatible with selected models. Reason: Model SegregatedSolidEnergyModel is incompatible with model(s) on the other side.

I already searched in other threads to solve my problem. They mentioned a missing energy-model in one of the continua of the Materials at the interface. But I think that should not be the problem.

I would be very greatfull for some help.

Greetings

This error is pretty easy to interpret, one of your continua is missing an energy equation. Find out which one and enable it.
