Hi

there is no script anymore.
That changed in v3.5a (due to some legal copyright or patent issues, nothing to do with science, but still, I wounder how much somebody will be ready to pay if someone patented and sold the right about writing analytical math equations, some people seem to be trying ;)

So, more seriously, you must use matlab or Java for v4

Good luck

I have version 3.3 also and it isnt on there either?

I am not very good with matlab but once you have connected the two programs together should it just work from there or do i have to do something else? The code i used in matlab keeps giving me an error and im not sure if matlab is reading my comsol file or not.

Hi

Sorry but 3.3 is really too old, cannot remember how it went ;) You need to go back to the doc I'm afraid, and test out the basics

Hello, Kelly:

As far as I know, Script (when it existed, before COMSOL version 4) needed a particular license. But, in COMSOL versions prior to 4, you could (can) use MATLAB with no aditional charge (from COMSOL). Al least in version 3.5, in "File / Client-ServerMATLAB / Connect to MATLAB" you can run MATLAB connected to COMSOL, or directly run both: "COMSOL 3.x with MATLAB". For this, you must have specified previously MATLAB path (typically at installation time). From COMSOL you can, for instance, export a "fem" structure directly to MATLAB, analyse there and many more things ... (I liked running my simulation from MATLAB: this can be easily made by saving your model as .m and opening ---and editing if you want--- it in MATLAB).

Good luck.

Jesus.

Starting at version 4.0, interfacing COMSOL to MATLAB is an optional capability provided with the product called "LiveLink for MATLAB". See www.comsol.com/products/livelink-matlab/ .
