What does this error mean: "Undefined value found in the stiffness matrix"?

Hi:

Sorry for bothering.

I have built up a ComSol model for calculating eigenfrequency of a ring resonator. However, it gives me the following error when I compute:

Undefined value found.
- Detail: Undefined value found in the stiffness matrix.
There are 1640 equations giving NaN/Inf in the matrix rows for the variable mod1.Ez

and similarly for the degrees of freedom, NaN/Inf in the matrix columns

So does this means that the ComSol model is correct, but the simulation result found some singular point or what?

I have attached the ComSol model file in the attachment.

Thanks so much for your time.
