Verifying that a local software installation performs as the developer intends is a potentially time consuming but necessary step for nuclear safety related codes. Automating this process not only saves time, but can increase reliability and scope of verification compared to ‘hand’ comparisons. While COMSOL does not include automatic installation verification as many commercial codes do, it does provide tools such as LiveLink™ for MATLAB® and the COMSOL API for use with Java® through which the user can automate the process. Here we present a successful automated verification example of a local COMSOL installation for nuclear safety related calculations at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR).
