Need help on automatic generating 3d models in comsol with only parameters and function calls

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I am currently working on a project that requires me to automatic generate a square spiral shape in COMSOL. I found MATLAB live link could be a very good solution. However, I don't have any clue on how to automatic generate the 3d spiral model in COMSOL with only parameters and functions. I have attached a snapshot of my hand drawn cad model of the square spiral coil model I made. This an IGS cad model I built from rhino. Specifically, the function would require inputs of: number of turns, thickness and the width of the coil, separation between each turn and the total width of the entire spiral.

According to what I described above, the function will be a iteration call of “n” turns of coil. Any clues on how would I approach the problem would be very helpful!

Thank you so much.
