Monitoring the solutions while computing using cluster in COMSOL

Hello everyone,

I created a time-dependent model on windows based COMSOL (Version 4.2a) and I am solving it in a linux based cluster with 2 nodes. I am also using a parametric sweep. So, I feed 8 different values for a parameter to 8 different processors and I want to monitor their progress, maybe, at what simulation time each of them are or velocity at a particular location . I wish to monitor the solution while it is computing because it takes a week and I don't want to realize that my solution is wrong after a week. So, currently COMSOL sends the parameters and starts the processing at the same time but it writes the log only for each processor sequentially and not simultaneously. So I can see the solutions only after the whole computations is over and I cannot see it at any point of time. Is there a setting by which I can see at what simulation time each node is or check the solution during run time?

Thanks, and Regards,

Ershad
