Changing boundary condition - Matlab/Comsol

Hi all,
I've got a problem where I'm trying to simply solve the diffusion equation with boundary conditions that change with time (one interval with a concentration imposed, followed by an interval with insulation bc).
I'm new to Comsol and Comsol with Matlab, but I was able to follow the manual on how to concatenate several transient solutions, but this is still very user intensive, similar to what I was doing before. I'd like to automate the process, and what I can't figure out is how to make the previous iteration's final solution the next iteration's initial condition...it seems like it should be possible.
I hope it's simple, but I'm new to Comsol and Comsol with Matlab so it's taking me some time.
I'm using v3.5a with R2009b. Thanks for any help.

Hi
you should define your BC value as a function of time, with smooth transition between the steps (use i.e. Heaviside functions)

Good luck

hi,
i am studying about homogenisation problems and i am writing a code using matlab.
I want to use the incremental loading method, so the BC change in every step.
I defined BC in first step using pdetool, but i don't know how to defined these in the next step.
Could you help me?
