PROBLEM: Exporting COMSOL model to Simulink

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi there, I'm trying to export a Navier-Stokes based model (a convective flow around an simple object.....a very simple model).

I'm using the General Dinamic Simulink blocktype for exporting, but when I try to load and run the FEM structure in Simulink-Matlab the following error occurs:

Error in COMSOL Multiphysics Subsystem block:
Java exception occurred:

I have not had any problem by exporting Conduction Heat trasfer models (because their are almost linear..),... but when I try to export a nonlinear model (a fluid dynamics model for example), I always encounter this problem...Is it imposible to export nonlinear fluid dynamics models, even if I use the General dynamic exporting option?

Thanks a lot!!
