Hi All,

I am having some trouble importing 3d models from solidworks to comsol 3.5a. I tried saving it has .x_t files but Comsol would not recognize the file type. Is there a way of saving them as .mphbin files?

Thanks,

will

Hello Will,

The extension .mphbin is dedicated for Comsol and you wouldn't expect any other software export the geometry in that file format. Unless, you are using the 3-Matic software from Materialize, as they can create native Comsol mesh files.

I can advise you to check the list of file extensions under File>Import>CAD Data From File.. menu. Depending on your license status, you will see the list of file extensions that you can use to import geometries from other CAD tools.

Regards,
Onur
