[port,pid,proc] = mphstartcomsolmphserver(arguments...);

Start COMSOL Multiphysics server on the local computer. This function is useful when a regular MATLAB session has be started and one wishes to connect to a COMSOL Multiphysics server at a later time.

This function will not return until the COMSOL Multiphysics server has been started and is ready for a connection on port.

The function mphstartcomsolmphserver accepts the following property/value pairs:

multi	off \| on	off	Accept repeated client connections
np	Integer		Number of processors
silent	off \| on	off	Use the -silent option
timeout		60	Timeout in seconds

On windows the hide property can be used to control if the COMSOL Multiphysics server windows should be hidden by setting it to 'on'. On Linux and Mac the hide property is ignored.

If this function can not find the COMSOL installation path the path must be specified using the argument comsolpath.
