COMSOL Multiphysics 4.1 with Update 3

•Undo/redo of many operations in the Model Builder and the Settings window.
•Copy-paste and duplication of selected nodes in the Model Tree, such as functions,
selections, study steps, plot groups and plots, and images and data for export.
•Automatic save and recovery of models during solver operations.
•Undo and Redo in the Main Toolbar
•The dtang operator is a complement to the d and pd differentiation operators.
dtang(f,x) computes the derivative of f with respect to x, in the tangential
direction along a boundary, when f is defined only on the boundary and therefore
cannot be differentiated using the d operator.
•License borrowing is now available directly in the user interface. This functionality
allows floating network license users to borrow a license and run COMSOL, for
example, on a laptop or a home computer that is not connected to a network.

1. Если нужна связка с матлаб то требуется версия Matlab 2010a или Matlab 2010b
2. Спецификацию по модулям см. ТУТ

Странно что /usr/local/comsol40a ... полагаю должно быть comsol41 ... может вы поставили в папку с предыдущей версией и там щас каша из версий? ... попробуйте переставить в чистую папку
