Hi my University utilises two different versions for comsol 5.4 and 5.3. However they only have Matlab live link with version 5.3 but I have done all my work with 5.4. Is they a way to translate a file that was made in 5.4 into 5.3 version.

Thanks.

Hello Fernando,

If your file created with version 5.4 only uses features that existed in version 5.3, yes. This thread should help.

Best regards,

Jeff

It's interesting to know such a possibility. Thanks!

According to the thread, one should save the .mph model file as a .java file and then compile it with a lower version compiler. But could a lower version .mph file be recovered from the .java file?

Hi Pu,

The compilation process as such should in principle be version independent. It is just a matter of getting a .class file from a .java file.

When you later run the .class file from a certain COMSOL Multiphysics version, and then save the model, the .mph file gets its version number. In principle, you could thus create several .mph file versions from a single .class file.

Regards,
Henrik
