+===================================
+First time you run an COMSOL job?
+===================================
+
+This page contains info aimed at first time 
+users of COMSOL on Stallo, but may also be usefull to 
+more experienced users. Please look carefully through the 
+provided examples. Also note that the job-script example is rather richly 
+commented to provide additional and relevant info.
+
+If you want to run this testjob, download the copies of the scripts and put them 
+into your test job folder (which I assume you have created in advance).
+
+COMSOL input example:
+--------------------
+
+.. include:: ../files/comsol_smalltest.mph
+   :literal:
+
+This file can also be downloaded here: :download:`Small test for COMSOL <../files/comsol_smalltest.mph>`.
+
+Place this file in a job folder of choice, say COMSOLFIRSTJOB in your home directory on Stallo.
+
+then, copy the job-script as seen here:
+
+.. include:: ../files/run_comsol.sh
+   :literal:
+
+(Can also be downloaded from here: :download:`run_comsol.sh <../files/run_comsol.sh>`)
+
+Before you can submit a job, you need to know what "type" of study you want to perform (please read more about that on the vendor support page). For example purpose, I have chosed study 4 - named std04; and this is the second variable argument to the run script (see comments in script).
+
+Place this script in the same folder and type:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sbatch run_comsol.sh comsol_smalltest std04
+
+You may now have submitted your first COMSOL job.
+
+Good luck with your (MULTI)physics!

 Management).
 
-To get a soft start for all, the old queuing system will still be functional
-and accept jobs as usual.  We will only start out with 152 nodes in the SLURM
-part of the cluster, the rest will stay with the old torque.  Slowly we will
-move more and more nodes from torque into SLURM, as nodes free up from running

-Since the cluster has 2 queuing systems you will have to check both queues to
-get the full picture of the load on the system, this is of course unfortunate
-but it has to stay this way until the transition is fully completed.
+Also, you would need to submit to the highmem partition::

-Jobs already submitted to torque will stay within this queue, so if you would

-If you use the `Abel

-The torque software has served us well for many years, however it is no longer
