Parameter sweep with varying number of entities in geometry

Hi all,
I am studying diffusion behavior in electrodes and got stuck in geometry setup. I want to create a geometry with an array of circles in a rectangle, where the number of circles and their positions depend on some sweeping parameters. The problem here is the number of entities in each simulation is also changing for different parameters. I didn't find a for loop in the geometry options. How can I do the geometry sweep? Must I write a bunch of java profiles, generate corresponding class profiles and then add all the physics in Comsol GUI for each parameter? Is there any shortcut?
Thanks in advance!

Fan,
You should use name selection in domain and boundary so that when geometric parameter sweep changes the no. of domain, it automatically update the selection of domains or boundaries. In the array nodes of geometric creation, select contribute to and name it.
