Matlab function

I have a couple of question;
1-Is it necessary that the input arguments of MATLAB function should be equal in size? and also output argument when using Livelink Matlab
In this case, the sizes of the arguments are ;
c = 100
cavg=1
MI =1
.................................................................
function MI = MixingIndex(c,cavg)
sumc=0;
for n=1: length(c)
a=(((c(n)-cavg/cavg)^2));
sumc=sumc+a;
end
MI=(1-sqrt((1/length(c))sumc))100;
...................................................................
2- How can I use this external function as a stop condition?
for example;
MixingIndex(c,aeop1(c))<0.5
aeop1(c) is the surface average on a boundry .
what is your suggestion to seek these goals?**

Hi Ehsan
Yes, if you are using a MATLAB node in your Comsol model your function must be able to take arguments that are vectors of equal size and your function must return a vector of the same size as the inputs. You can test this using the Matlab command by passing vectors that you hace created yourself. The reason is that each call to Matlab are rather slow and hence we need to batch the calls to speed things up.
You can insert a stop condition in your solver setup. The conditions used for stopping can depend on a Matlab function (and any other valid Comsol expression/function).

Thank you for your attention! I face with a problem. In fact, I wanna use this function as a stop condition.
this is my Matlab function: function MI = MixingIndex(c) sumc=0; cavg=0; for i=1:length(c) cavg= cavg+c(i); end cavg=(cavg/length(c)); for n=1: length(c) a=(((c(n)-cavg/cavg)^2)); sumc=sumc+a; end MIpre=(1-sqrt((1/length(c))sumc))100; X = zeros(1,length(c)) for i=1:length(c) X(i)=MIpre end MI=X;

%%%%%%% but the error is "could not evaluate stop condition %%%%%%%% although all of the variables and probes evaluate during solution, It seems the stop condition could not access to the variable in previous time step! what is your idea and suggestion?
