Dear Forum,

In my heat transfer analysis of a rather large model there are nodes, that seem to go down to very low temperatures (around -230°C), although everything in the model is 35°C and above, just like the environment. What could be the issue?

Check all initial and boundary conditions and make sure that units are consistent. But most importantly, refine the mesh. Too coarse discretization may lead to such numerical errors.
