How can I import 2D sketches from CATIA into COMSOL Multiphysics?
The formats that COMSOL reads in 2D geometry are not available in CATIA.

Then try it in solid works. Otherwise you have to build the model in COMSOL.

You can import your 2D model from CATIA software into AutoCAD software and write output DXF.
Good luck!

You can import your model by right click in the model builder -> geometry click import model then you can locate the file DXF file or ECAD file.

Check whether there is an option to save the CAD file into .mph in CAD software. If yes direct use import model.

How to mesh a plate hole in comsol as is made in abaqus?

Hi, i'm trying to mesh a plate hole like surface with a structured mesh like the one made in abaqus in this video:
It seems to be the automatic structured mesh in that program. I tryed to replicate it in comsol with no luck. In the image is the best i've achived (with mapped mesh), wich is not bad, but in the transition from one plate to an other theres a big change in the element shape and size, and has low quality skeewness. This is for a fluid flow module wich sometimes can be very sensitive to the mesh, and as i reduce element size sometimes the convergence is worsen has anyone done a mesh like that? Thanks in advance
