COMSOL Multiphysics is widely utilized in the modeling of dynamics of technological and manufacturing processes. At the same time the investigated technological and manufacturing processes are generally described by systems of partial differential equations as distributed parameter systems. This paper presents actual possibilities of control of systems modeled by COMSOL Multiphysics as distributed parameter systems in MATLAB & Simulink software environment. As model control problems control of heating of complex-shape metal body and glass melting furnace temperature field are demonstrated.
