How can I export the pre-processing file from Comsol

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I should to transfer the elettromagnetic results (Lorentz's forces) from Comsol to the structural analysis in Ansys.

The problem is that i dont want the nodal forces, but the distribution of the forces on the object (2D other 3D geometry) in a general point, is a distribution independent of the mesh. I should "mapping" the "field"(the spatial distribution of the forces on the object).

Comsol make this in the case of multiphysic study, for exemple if I aplly the Lorentz's forces, calculated on the elettromagnetic study (mf.FLtrz, axial force), on the structural study as a "body load". The two study are two differents mesh, in my case. Comsol apply the correct force on the correct element, because Comsol know the forces distribution and it apply this distibution on the structural mesh, since the distibution is independent of the mesh. I should know how Comsol make this, and i could use it for trasfer the lorentz's forces distribution from Comsol to Ansys (structural) in a readable format from Ansys (for exemple, .dat, .txt, .meshdat,.....).

This distibution is present on the pre-processing file (EM study ready, Structural study ready), why Comsol should know the distribution to apply an the structural mesh.

Thank's


P.S the pre-processing file is the file before compute the study, in this case before i compute the structural study.

Hi Salvatore Iovieno,

Did you ever figure this out? I am trying to do a very similar thing.

Thanks,
