Problem with create new solution in comsol 4.1

I have problem with crating a solution using script in Comsol 4.1. In help I read that Comsol enabled functionality to manipulate solutions (see help model.sol). I want to creates a solution object from more than one solutions. The Comsol provides function model.sol(<tag>).createSolution(). In accordingly with the Comosol Manual a new created solutions is based on the input from the following sets (real and imaginary components) setU(int,double[]),setPNames(String[]),setPVals(double[]),setPVals(int,double[]) The solution is created at this stage. Afterwards the user input is cleared. If a created solution is used before this function is run the result is unpredictable. When I call createSolution function we get following exception:
??? Java exception occurred:
Exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
(rethrown as com.comsol.util.exceptions.FlException)

The sol1 and sol2 consist a results of calculation.
Can you help me!!! What should I do to create a new solution properly without any exception using script Comsol 4.1??

I'll put another vote in for finding a solution to this problem. Here's exactly what I'm trying to do now. I developed a model in the COMSOL GUI and solved it with success. I then saved this model as an m-file and ran it in Matlab, again with success. I saved the solution and pvals vector as variables in matlab with the:
model.sol('sol1').getU(i);
model.sol('sol1').getPVals;
commands, and cleared the model. I ran the model all the way up to the sol('sol1').runAll command, and then tried to put the values from u and pvals into the model manually and run the createSolution command. It returned the error shown above. I've tried some other things as well with these commands and haven't had success with anything. Does anybody have an answer to this?
Thanks,
-Matt

I finally had success with this. Unfortunately the only way this worked for me was in COMSOL 4.2 and 4.2a. The functionality is simply broken in 4.1. Here's a copy & paste of some notes I typed up for myself earlier. I think they should work for you.
2. Load the model in MATLAB using the command:
model = mphload('<modelname>');
3. If needed, get the size of the solution vector:
sizeVec = model.sol('sol1').getSize
u_rows = sizeVec(1);
4. Set the solution vector to some custom values:
model.sol('sol1').setU( rand(u_rows,1) )
5. Set the time value to something arbitrary (?)
model.sol('sol1').setPVals( 0 );
6. Create the solution
model.sol('sol1').createSolution
7. Obtain the mass/stiffness/load vector
MA = mphmatrix(model,'sol1','out',{'E','K','L'},'initmethod','sol')

It seems to me the demo is not running any more in 4.3a -> java.lang.NullPointerException
Update: It does work after several attempts and the usage of a modified automatically created result.
