+
+Information regarding the computational physics program system COMSOL
+
+General Information:
+=====================
+
+Description:
+---------------
+
+COMSOL Multiphysics® is a general-purpose software platform, based on advanced numerical methods, for modeling and simulating physics-based problems. It is highly visual, based on graphical interfaces - so users are adviced to use either the client installation on their client machine or the remote graphics solution on Stallo.

+Additional online info about Gaussian on Stallo:
+=================================================
+
+Usage
+------
+
+
+COMSOL is a rather memory intensive code, so we would generally advice users to either run their jobs on the highmem-nodes (with 8GB/core of memory) or less than full nodes on the slim nodes. 
+
+Use
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ module avail COMSOL
+
+to see which versions of Gaussian are available. Use
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ module load COMSOL/<version> # i.e 5.3-intel-2016a
+
+to get access to any given version of COMSOL.  
+
+The license of comsol is installed as a floating network license type, meaning that there is a server checking out license tokens upon request.
+If you want to know whether there are available license tokens or not, load the module as above. Then type
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ lmstat -c $LMCOMSOL_LICENSE_FILE -a
+
+Happy calculations!
