Hi,

Is it possible to save a model as older version? I have 5.3 and I would like to save model for previous vesion, e.g. 5.2.

Hi,

For obvious reasons, this cannot be done if you have used functionality which was not available, or has been significanly changed since version 5.2. In many cases, it is however possible:

Save the model as a Java file, compile it, and run the generated class file from the older version. This will work as long as there is nothing in that Java file which is not supported. A few such things can also be fixed by editing the Java file. So it may be worth trying.

Regards,

Henrik

Hi,

If I want to send my simulation to someone who have version 5.2, what do I need to send? This .class and .mph, or just .class, or something else?

Thanks, Milana

Hi Milana,

If we assume that you do not have 5.2, and your collegue has that version, the best would be that you sava as Java (preferably after having done a Compact History). You then send the Java file, so that the other user has a possibilty to edit it, if necessary.

Hi Abdul,

You can use the comsolcompile command from a console window. If you have the binaries directory in the search path, then it is just

comsolcompile my_model.java

Without the path set, you can do something like (on Windows)

C:\"Program Files"\COMSOL\COMSOL53a\Multiphysics\bin\win64\comsolcompile my_model.java

Regards,

Henrik
