Running Pareto in Parallel with external solver

Hi,

Does anyone have experience running MATLAB Pareto search in parallel with an OptiStruct (or NASTRAN) solver in the objective function? What I am aiming for to happen is for the four poll points to be calculated simultaneously in four different OptiStruct solutions, then run a cost calculation according to its outputs. I already have a function which can do this in series (too many files to post here, but if you absolutely need to see it I will post).

I don;t even know where to start with this because I need to somehow tell matlab to write 4 input files, feed them into 4 solvers, then extract 4 solutions. I believe the main issue is how to tell matlab to produce the four files.

I realise this is a very vague question, so if more information is needed let me know and I will try to provide it.

Thanks in advance.
