I tried to solve the transcendental equation (see attachment 1), but got an error (see below). Can anybody help me to solve it ? Thank you! The comsol file was also attached

error:

undefined value found.

There are 1 degrees of freedom giving NaN/Inf in the vector for the variable mod1.u

You use initial value u_0 = 0 (on subnode Global Equations). For this value denominators in your formula are equal 0. Try u_0 > 0, say 0.1.
