Picinitialise issue

[cesarengineer]

I'm having this issue while trying to run a case, Once I try to run picInitialise I get this error, how can I define or where I have to define BoundaryModel for inlet and outlet? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Create mesh for time = 0

Initialising pic for Time = 0

Read space charge value of 0 As

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, I have solved the issues with the tutorials' previous simulations. I've been running other cases with a totally different geometry and could run it too. However, I have a couple of questions. I'm working on a simplified ion thruster grid geometry as shown in the below screenshot. . So, which tutorial I may use and apply in this case that can lead to a more realistic approach? Also, the only initialization model that works for this case is the uniform displacement. I just would like to make sure that I'm right.? Any help and guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
