Getting Started

The first step is installing the correct software. You will require a licensed copy of Comsol 3.5a, and a licensed copy of Matlab 2007. Both of these can be installed from Roger's repo.

A Comsol-Matlab (CM) interface is initialised by running the command comsol_35a matlab. This should start a java instance of Matlab 2007 with Comsol commands enabled. To check the link try the command flclear fem which will not work in a standard Matlab instance.
