Hi,

I'd like to import an stl file into a COMSOL simulation, and the online tutorial says that COMSOL supports this file type. However, when I try to use the import function on the Geometry toolbar, the file types that COMSOL gives me the option to import are Mesh, COMSOL Multiphysics file, and DXF file. When I browse for the stl file I want to import, I can't find it where it's saved. Any help in changing the COMSOL settings to be compatible with this file type would be appreciated.

Thanks, Henry

Could it be that you are in a 2Dgeometry as opposed to a 3D one?
