CAD Import Module Updates


For users of the CAD Import Module, COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.4 introduces support for the latest CAD file formats, the ability to preview CAD assemblies in the Graphics window, improved geometry cleanup. Read more about these updates below. 

Updated CAD File Import

The CAD file import functionality now supports the latest versions of all compatible file formats. For a complete list of supported CAD file formats, visit the Read from File, CAD section of the CAD specification chart.

3D Preview of CAD Assemblies

Selecting specific components to import from a CAD assembly is now easier with the new 3D preview functionality within the Graphics window. This preview functionality is available when importing CAD assemblies saved in the file formats of the Inventor®, NX™, PTC Creo Parametric™, PTC Pro/ENGINEER®, and SOLIDWORKS® software.

Geometry Cleanup Improvements

The geometry analysis in the Geometry Cleanup functionality has been improved to more reliably detect small geometric features and to perform better on geometries with many details. Small details in the geometry, such as gaps, thin domains, narrow face regions, small faces, slivers, and short edges, are automatically detected and removed to generate a high-quality mesh for simulation. The following tutorial models demonstrate these improvements:
