Running COMSOL Multiphysics from a Terminal Window
COMSOL Multiphysics can also be launched from a terminal window using the shell script COMSOL64/Multiphysics/bin/comsol.
To run the comsol command more easily, include the COMSOL64/bin directory in the path or make a symbolic link from /usr/bin/comsol to the comsol script. Those with administrator privileges can create a symbolic link with the command
sudo ln -s /Applications/COMSOL64/Multiphysics/bin/comsol /usr/bin/comsol
(assuming COMSOL Multiphysics is installed in the default Applications folder). This command asks for a password before creating the link.
The comsol command must not be moved from the COMSOL64/Multiphysics/bin folder. The COMSOL applications also use this script.
