=== Using Matlab LiveLink ===

The command
<code bash>
comsol server matlab
</code>
does not work when not executed with root privileges.

This one works (Fedora 22)
<code bash>
comsol server matlab -mlroot /opt/apps/matlab/default/ -graphics
</code>



The method described below works on the students PC pool (Fedora 22, 12. Aug. 2015).

Start Comsol server and Matlab
<code bash>
comsol server
# /opt/apps/comsol/comsol51_teaching/bin/comsol server
matlab
</code>

In Matlab:

  - Add the path of the Matlab Interface directory
  - Connect to Comsol
  - Import the libraries for setting up Comsol models

<code matlab>
addpath('/opt/apps/comsol/comsol51_teaching/mli');
mphstart('localhost', 2036);
import com.comsol.model.*;
import com.comsol.model.util.*;
</code>

The Comsol teaching version is lacking some licence needed for connecting to a remote Comsol server.


=== Comsol Batch execution ===
To execute a comsol-'simulation' on the Terminal:
<code bash>
comsol batch -inputfile myfile.mph
</code>
