I created geometry of a saddle coil pair in Solidworks and then I imported it to COMSOL using the geometry import option. When I build meshes, it gives error of meshing around edges and corners.

COMSOL imports edges and surfaces. How can I import the part as a solid geometry?

I used livelink for solidworks too and got the same error.

Hi

strange, as normally SolidWorks imports 3D bodies as 3D bodies and not surfaces and lines only, have you checked the options for import, and could it be that you need a higher resolution as you might have some "small" or thin features?

And what about versions ? check compatibility !

Good luck

Comsol imports 3D objects. If you are interested, you can check for the surfaces and edges as well!

Check the import option; you will be able to resolve the issue!
