                                                    Hi
I assume it "singular matrix" which typically mean that you are missing some BC or that your PDE is not set up well enough to give a single unique response

                                                    I am also getting a similar type of error while I try to solve a controlled source electromagnetic marine model.
The title of error is :
The following feature has encounter a problem :
Feature : Stationary solver
Error : Failed to evaluate expression
Please suggest me some tricks to cope up with it.
Thanks.

                                                    Hi
then read carefully, you have somewhere an expression that cannot be resolved, a typo or a variable use out of  it's context. Do not forget that variables have implicit definitions, and are often fields dependent on x,y,z, or r,t ... and mostly apply to the element of size dx,dy,dz (in 3D) therefore must sometimes be integrated over a domain or a boundary before using it in a higher order calculation
Take the density "rho" you define it as [kg/m^3] it applies to a domain, hence to the elements of the domain. Now in most formulas you use the mass of the object, not the density, so you need to integrate rho over the domain. If you have 2 domains of different materials, you need to sum over the domains the integration of the density.
This mens that "rho" is implicitly a field defined as rho_i(x,y,z,t) (as the density might change over the spatial coordinates and with time, and the _i is there to refer to the "i" individual domains. One must ALWAYS rethink carefully all formulas in COMSOL and ask the question, is this variable "global" or does it define implicitly some links to the geometry, if so is are these elements clearly defined ?

Are you sure your expression is correct I would try P*exp(-ay), but then be sure P is not already used, as for ay. I often use morecomplex names to be sure they do not mix up with COMSOL internal variables
