Hello Sufyan,

COMSOL 4.3 can directly load models saved from version 3.5a. For loading models from earlier COMSOL versions than 3.5a you will need to load them in COMSOL 3.5a and save them there first.
If you need to do this for many files, for simplifying this task a utility is available where you can convert all
files in a directory from versions 3.0–3.5 to version 3.5a. See the section “COMSOL Convertpre35a Command” for Windows, the section “COMSOL Convertpre35a Command” for Linux, or the section “COMSOL Convertpre35a Command” for the Mac in the v4.3 COMSOL Installation and Operations Guide for more information. Note that this utility requires that you have 3.5a.

I hope this helps,
Jeff

Hi, I installed 3.5.0, but can't find the convert item, can you give me a picture?
Can you send me a file that can update 3.5 vision into 3.5a as the file redownload is really time-consuming.
Thank you!
