Some one can HELP? A COMSOL3.3 model cannot to be used in COMSOL5.2 ?~~

Hello everyone,
I 'm using COMSOL5.2 to simulate a project. Now I meet a problem.
My mentor is using a old version: COMSOL3.3. I want to use his model in my COMSOL5.2, but it says they are not compatible. I read the COMSOL help document and know that a COMSOL 3.5 can be imported into COMSOL5.2 but what if a COMSOL3.3 model?
Now I don't know how to solve the problem and I haven't found some documents about it. It really trouble me for a long time, so I think maybe some people here can help me with it.
Thanks for all of you in advance.
Dustin

Comsol Multiphysics has changed enormously since version 3.3 . If you have working versions of both 3.3 and 5.2a, my suggestion (just my opinion) is that you open the old model in version 3.3, study it carefully so you understand all the geometry, the materials, and physics there, and then rebuild the model from scratch (i.e., all new) in 5.2a. You'll be much better off than attempting cumbersome porting, and your new model will allow you to modify settings, geometries, etc, much easier.
