Comsol server keeps models in memory?

Dear all,

when running a batch of models in Server/Client mode, the Comsol server process (started with the "multi on" option) seems to keep the model in the server's RAM even when running "ModelUtil.disconnect" and "clear all" when the model run is finished.
So after a few model runs, the server process will run out of memory.

When running the models separately in a sequence - each time using a new server process (i.e. NOT using the "multi on" option but rather starting comsolserver again) - it works.

Anyone experienced the same?
Is there a way to free the memory when the model run is finished?

Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend,
Juergen

I contacted Comsol Support because I had the same issue and here is the answer:

You have two things to do to make sure to release the memory in the COMSOL
server.

1- Use the command

ModelUtil.remove('Model')

to remove the COMSOL model object from the COMSOL server. Of course chane
the name 'Model' to name of the model object available in the COMSOL
server.
You can get the list of the model object available in the COMSOL server
with the command

ModelUtil.tags

2- Make sure to use the latest version of COMSOL Multiphysics as we have
fixed some memory leaking bugs in previous version. The upcoming version
COMSOL 4.2a also contains some fix regarding this.
