For a simulation that we are running we get a lot of html files as output. Could anyone suggest a method by which i could merge those multiple html files into a single html file.

Since HTML is simply a text file you can append these together very easily. Both UNIX and Windows support these types of operations. If you have a lot of files you will need to script it, but that's a pretty straightforward operation in pretty much any scripting language.
UNIX:
touch mylargehtml.html
cat file1.html >> mylargehtml.html
cat file2.html >> mylargehtml.html
Windows:
type file1.html > mylargehtml.html
type file2.html >> mylargehtml.html
Depending on other requirements (order of input files, making correct html, or if you are actually performing a merge operation), this may need to be more sophisticated, but this is about as simple as I can think of.

Also, are there other requirements or constraints that you didn't elaborate (files are scattered all over the place and you need to find them, the order is critical, you need to only take certain files, etc).

Do each of the HTML files have their own HEAD and BODY sections? Are there META directives in the HEAD sections that might conflict with each other, or style information that might conflict? When the files are all merged together, should it be "body of the first followed immediately by body of the second" or should there be some kind of delimiter between the parts? Would it perhaps make sense that instead of merging the files, that you generate an index file that refers to all of the pieces? If the parts must be merged in to the same file, does an index need to be placed on top so that the parts can be jumped to directly?
Some of these variations are very easy to program; others take more work.

Might as well use fileread() http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/fileread.html
str = fileread('peaksurface.html');
str2 = fileread('skull.html');
fid = fopen('test_abc.html','w');
fwrite(fid,[str str2]);
fclose(fid)
