error 6194: power function

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I have got a error (6194)

the error said: attempt to evaluate non-integral power of negative number
-function: power

failed to evaluate variable

whether someone know how to solve this problem? Comsol does not allow the non-integral power of negative number?

Thanks!

Xin

Hello ,
pretty new to comsol,
i get the error 6194 in a context i dont understand..(seethe full error message below)

as you will see I use the operator abs before a square root operator [ with an extra non necessary parenthesis I added in the process] but I get tthe power of negative error...
If I remove the square root the problem disappear so it is clearly aassociated with it..
and the term under the square root is abs( expression). exactely as recommended in comsol manual...
any idea on what is going on?
Thanks in advance
JF
