2 D AXI-SYMMETRY CAD IMPORT

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello, I imported a 2D axi-symmetry CAD model, no problem. Can you refer me to a knowledge based worked example I can follow to set up my problem. As it is when I click the whole geometry is high-lighted. I am looking at a forced air cooled problem with heat generation, in a cylindrical geometry.

Hi
if you get only one domain it's because your dxf imported file is either only 1 polyline, or what often happens badly connected.

DXF geometry can rather easily be dismounted and recombined in COMSOL, take a look at the doc about geoemtry.

Then to learn better follow some of the numerous recorded videos on the main web site, and follow the model librry examples, the PDF documents describe step by step how (and why) to build your model, then at the end you can load the prepared model and compare ;)

Good luck
