Hi,
At a guess i'd say its to do with the power...instead of x^0.5, try sqrt(x). If not, what expression are you trying to enter it as because It could be to do with the units becoming messed up.
Let me know how you get on.
Regards,
Chris

No, sqrt(x) is the same as x^0.5.
The problem is that the unit syntax in COMSOL Multiphysics only accepts integer exponents, so there is no unit for "square root of meter," but if this is not what you want, you can de-dimensionalize x using COMSOL unit syntax:
2*(x[1/m])^0.5
does not produce an error.

Hi,Chris
Thanks for your answer!
The problem still occur when "x^0.5" is instead by "sqrt(x)". However, it disappears when instead by "(x[1/m])^0.5". So Magnus' method is valid. The units is important sometimes in Comsol.
I guess it is only a warning message of unstandard when a expression is in orange. Because the result is not changed when "x^0.5" is instead by "sqrt(x)" or "(x[1/m])^0.5".

Hi
orange is a warning, it seems that V4.0a has an issue with sqrt and fractional power and how to handle units, probably repaired in V4.1, that I suspect will come out today, isnt it the Boston conf day today ?

Good luck
Ivar

Hi, Ivar
Thanks for your answer!
I could not found the help issue in Comsol V4.0a documentation. However, it is not important. At least it has be proved that Comsol can handle these the kinds of trouble automatically now.
Yeah, it is "COMSOL Conference 2010 Boston" today! (
www.comsol.com/conference2010/usa/)
I wish Comsol get better and strongger!

In continuation with this, how would someone enter, x^0.7.
Am not being able to do it following above comments..
