How can I import field results from other solver into COMSOL?

I run a simulation using another software and save the field results (resistive power field, or saying dissipated power). The result includes coordinates of each point and corresponding value, saved in both .txt and .mat file. For example of resistive power field for point i, (xi,yi,zi,Pi) are saved where xi,yi,zi are coordinates and Pi is the amplitude of resistive power field at point i.

I build up the same model with same geometry and position in COMSOL. I want to use COMSOL for further simulation, like temperature distribution using heat transfer module. How can I import the resistive power field result into COMSOL for further simulation in COMSOL?

I assume there are 2 major problems.
1. How to mesh the structure exactly the same with the mesh i used in the other solver (software)?
2. How to import the field result point by point into COMSOL?

I'm using COMSOL 3.4 currently by the way.
