commands in the Output section. It is recommended that you save all of the output
in a text document for future use. The different output data are described in the list
below.
a Instructions - Short instructions on how to access the COMSOL Multiphysics
server.
b PublicDNSName - The public DNS name.
c PuTTYAccess - PuTTY command for forwarding your local port 2036 to the
COMSOL Multiphysics server in the cloud, in order to be able to connect to it.
d SSHAccess - SSH command for forwarding your local port 2036 to the
COMSOL Multiphysics server in the cloud, in order to be able to connect to it.
If you chose not to start the COMSOL Multiphysics server automatically after creating
the stack, you need to start it manually. To do this, log in to the server via SSH and
follow the instructions in the COMSOL Reference Manual, page 1171.
Connect to the COMSOL Multiphysics
®
Server
In this section you will learn how to connect to the COMSOL Multiphysics server with
the client-server functionality.
To connect to the COMSOL Multiphysics server from your local computer, you need
to forward your local port 2036 to the COMSOL Multiphysics server port in the
Amazon™ cloud. To do this, follow the steps described below.
1 Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ and click the AWS CloudFormation
icon.
2 Select the stack you created for the COMSOL Multiphysics server.
3 Click the tab Outputs.
4 Find the row with the Key value of SSHAccess or PuTTYAccess. Which one you
choose is dependent on what SSH software you have installed. Select the text in the
Value column and copy it, either by right clicking on it and choosing
copy or by
using the shortcut Ctrl + C.
5 Open a command prompt and navigate to the PuTTY or SSH installation folder.
