import a bmp image into COMSOL geometry
Hey,
as stated in this webpage: http://www.comsol.com/products/formats/ Comsol can both read and write few types of images. However, when I tried to import a bmp image as my structure for flow simulation, it was not possible, because the options given include only mphtxt, dxf, etc. Does any one know how I can get a bmp or jpeg image imported? Thanks!

I don't think it possible to set up a model geometry (is that what you want?) from a bitmap.
Cheers

Re: import a bmp image into COMSOL geometry
Hey Edgar,
yes, it is, because the biofilm structure I need is very complicated. It's neither possible nor reliable to draw it with any software. I want to use the image I got from OCT analysis.
Do you know if it's possible to import txt files? The results can also be saved in txt files.
Thanks!

Re: import a bmp image into COMSOL geometry
Hi Chunyan,
I think you must render the bitmap into a compatible vector format. This may be dxf or one of the available interfaces for CAD software like SolidWorks. I don't know what can be imported by textfiles. Maybe the COMSOL support can help.
However, very complicated biological structures will result in complicated geometries that are difficult to mesh and solve.
My advice would be to draw something simplified and start with it.
Cheers
Edgar

Hello Edgar,
thank you very much for your suggestions. I've just checked that it's possible to convert bmp images into dxf format. Will try that out. Thanks!!!!!
Regards!
