Comsol/Interactive

You can start the graphical user interface (GUI) of COMSOL on one of the login nodes of Euler. This can be useful to change your COMSOL preferences or to prepare a model or check the result of a COMSOL job. In order to start the GUI of COMSOL on a login node, you first need to establish an SSH connection with X11 forwarding enabled.

ssh -Y username@hostname

With username being your ETH username. Afterwards, you can load one of the COMSOL modules

module load comsol/5.2

and finally start the GUI with the comsol command.

comsol -np 1

If the COMSOL GUI runs slow through X11, then please have a look at the troubleshooting section of this wiki page.
