Equal spacing across an object

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi, I'm looking for an operation that seems quite trivial yet somehow I wasn't able to find a way to do it. My apologies in advanced if I missed something obvious, I'm very new to comsol. I want to create a very simple heat sink. I want to create the object in 2d and extrude it (an example 2d object is in the image attached). what I'd like to know is how I can automatically create the spacing between the ribs. Basically I want to understand if theres a way I could enter only the amount and size of ribs and let the software do the calcuating and equally spread them along the object (or alternatively remove the spaces that need to be removed). In this specific case the calculation is quite simple, but things might not be as easy in future projects.

Thank you and once again sorry if my question has an obvious solution.

This can be achieved with an array operation in the geometry sequence.
