I am running a comsol model with matlab; and I have a while loop in which the pressure values extracted from comsol at a time tmax corresponding to the iteration parameter, k of the while loop, is used to compute a variable. Since MATLAB and COMSOL do not run at the same sequence, how can t and k be synchronized so that my computation will not run out of results or solutions.

In other words, suppose I have the code below, and pwmid is to extracted from Comsol destop. The final value of k is not known until the end of the iteration. For a time dependent problem in Comsol, I need to specify the computing time, t (i.e 0:1:tmax), where tmax is the max time. How can I synchronize tmax and k, so that I do not run out of values in MATLAB; if a specify a value tmax=1000, and at the end of while loop k=1001, I will run out of values at the last iteration step. But if I update the value of tmax with k and recompute, I am guessing this should synchronize the two values; will it despite the difference in the computing speed of matlab and comsol?
