LiveLink™ for AutoCAD®

ELECTRONICS: The picture shows a direct currents simulation where a foil wire conductor is represented as a surface in AutoCAD. An Electric Currents Shell physics interface is applied to the synchronized geometry using the AC/DC Module in COMSOL.

LiveLink™ for AutoCAD®

With the new LiveLink for AutoCAD interface you can transfer a 3D geometry from AutoCAD to COMSOL Multiphysics. The synchronized geometry in the COMSOL model stays associative with the geometry in AutoCAD. This means that settings applied to the geometry, like physics or mesh settings, are retained after subsequent synchronizations. The LiveLink interface is also bidirectional to allow you to initiate a change of the AutoCAD geometry from the COMSOL model.
