Time Complexity of Comsol for Cluster Computing and Queue jobs

Dear All,

Does anybody know, what time complexity, Comsol have?
About time complexity I would like to say that:
let say you have a model with n1 elements. It takes t1 seconds to run.
If you use 1000*n1 elements by changing the mesh size for example, how long it is going to take to run?
Does Comsol have constant (O(1)), linear (O(n1)), or power (O(n1^3)), ... time complexity?
It is good to estimate the time that your simulation is supposed to be run in a supercomputer when there are too many users using that supercomputer. Because by this way, you can estimate running time and hence the requested CPU hours for your simulation in queue jobs and save and manage your time.
I appreciate if somebody provide me with his/her information about this.

Thanks,
Mohammad
