I'm not sure of the best way to do what you're trying to accomplish. Looking through some tutorials on geometry modeling and searching the knowledge base may be helpful (see www.comsol.com/community/forums/general/thread/12982/).

I would suggest trying to define it as a "parametric curve" feature (under more primitives). I don't know how you got the points for your excel table, but if it's based on a function you can put it in directly to make the curve or if not you can try importing the points into an interpolation function (under definitions) to use for defining the parametric curve.
