DC-DC converter Error Initial conditions solve failed to converge.

Hi, I'm quite new to Simulink and want to test the function of DC-DC converter. The picture below is the model I developed.

However, I came across these error:

Could anyone tell me how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

After I connected a electrical reference to the 2- port

the errors became these.

=== Simulation (Elapsed: 6 sec) ===

Warning:First solve for initial conditions failed to converge. Trying again with all high priorities relaxed to low.

Warning:Second solve for initial conditions failed to converge. Trying again with all variable targets ignored.

Error:An error occurred while running the simulation and the simulation was terminated

Caused by:

Hello,

you can start by putting a capacitor at the output of the dc/dc converter. You can set this to the appropriate output voltage initial condition in the variables tab.

Also, if it helpes, there is a free simscape onramp here: https://www.mathworks.com/learn/tutorials/simscape-onramp.html

Hi

Can you check setting the priority of parameter from any block to low going to its variable tab.

Answer 1

[Joel Van Sickel]

you need to add an electrical reference to the output of this converter the way it works. (or short the output and input negative termals, or connect them with a large resistance to emulate isolation)

Regards,

Joel

Hi, I was facing a similar issue. Can you please try with local solver. open the f(x)=0 block and there you will see an option for local solver. check that box. Also, try with different solver options. Hope this helps.
