Comsol with Matlab livelink using several matlab-workers

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,
I'm working on a project that involves several simulations of electrostatic distribution of potential in a given 3D-geometry. The model has been evolving during the last years and is running properly. Now I'm facing the problem of spending almost 85% of my calculation time meshing (hundreds of hours), being too complicated to simplify the model, since the main idea is to make it complex. The model runs with the Matlab and at work I have a floating network license (FNL) but I use Comsol with Matlab (v 2104a) locally. My questions are:
- if I start Comsol with Matlab twice, it connects to the same comsol server via two different ports in order to run two simulations at the time. Am I doubling or splitting my calculation force?
- is it possible for me to have more than one server locally at the same time in my machine, so I use in a more efficient way my machine?
- Is there any advice you can give me?
Thanks!
