These geometries can subsequently be changed using COMSOL Multiphysics ® and the CAD Import Module.

When you have installed the CAD Import Module, all CAD models and files are automatically converted to a Parasolid ® geometry using the Parasolid ® geometry engine that is included with the module. The separate product File Import for CATIA ® V5 provides support for importing the native file format for this system. In addition, you can import the native file formats of a number of CAD systems, such as SOLIDWORKS ®, Inventor ®, PTC ® Creo ® Parametric™, NX™, and AutoCAD ®. Most CAD software supports the export of Parasolid ®, ACIS ®, STEP, and IGES file formats, which can then be readily imported into COMSOL Multiphysics ® with the CAD Import Module.
