Expression error

After running a simulation for a 3D structure with a magnetic field going in the z (vertical) direction, COMSOL returns the following error: Division by zero. - Function: / Failed to evaluate expression. - Expression: abs(try_catch(comp1.emw.Pin,1)/comp1.emw.Pmode_1) Failed to evaluate variable. - Variable: comp1.emw.tEmodex_1 - Defined as: sqrt(abs(try_catch(comp1.emw.Pin,1)/comp1.emw.Pmode_1))*comp1.emw.tE0modex_1 Failed to evaluate expression. - Expression: comp1.emw.tEdownx-comp1.emw.tEupx+comp1.emw.tEmodex_1

When I change the direction of the magnetic field to the y direction, the simulation runs. However, I need it in the z one and I cannot understand from the error message what it is that I have to change. Anyone can help?

Dear Giulio,

My guess is that something is inconsistent the way you set up the model but the information you supply is not sufficient. What feature do you use to excite the model, for example Port, Scattering Boundary Condition, Background Field (Scattered Field Formulation)? Can you share your model?
