Installation
Before you begin, make sure that you run COMSOL version 3.2.0.222. This is the only version that can be updated with this fix. On the Help menu, click "About COMSOL Multiphysics" to check your version.
PC Installation Instructions
Download the self-extracting executable file comsol32_p1.exe. Close all
instances of COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB before you begin the
installation process. Run the executable and unpack the files to your COMSOL
installation directory, for example, C:\COMSOL32. This is the directory where
the file licenseinfo.txt and the directories multiphysics and doc are located.
UNIX and Linux Installation Instructions
Download the tar file comsol32_p1.tar. Connect to the COMSOL installation
directory, for example, /usr/local/comsol (type cd /usr/local/comsol32). Type
tar xf [download file path]/comsol32_p1.tar
to apply the hotfix.
Mac OS X Installation Instructions
Mount the downloaded disk image by double-clicking it. Run the AppleScript
"COMSOL 3.2 Installer". It will ask you to locate your COMSOL installation
folder, for example, "Macintosh HD:Applications:COMSOL32". This is the folder
where the file licenseinfo.txt and the directories multiphysics and doc are located.
Check the Installation
Do the following to check that the installation is complete:
- Start COMSOL Multiphysics.
- On the Help menu, click About COMSOL Multiphysics.
- Check that the version number is 3.2.0.224 (If the installation did not finish correctly, the version number is 3.2.0.222).
