I am completely new to comsol, so please forgive me for posting a problem I suspect have a simple solution. I have tried to search for a solution myself, unsuccessfully.

In a microfluidic problem I need to use a pipe with an elliptical cross section. I have attempted to use a parametric surface and then convert it to a solid, but I get a warning that the output is empty.

Any help or tips would be much appreciated.

You can draw an ellipse in a workplane and extrude it.
