How to draw a 3D bended wire in COMSOL?

Hello,
I want to analyze the magnetic field of different curvatures of a wire connecting two metal blocks. I would like to build the geometry directly in COMSOL (now it's in AutoCAD). This would give me the freedom to change the geometrical parameters (e.g. the radius of the wire curvature) for different studies. The wire has a thickness t > 0.5 mm. I have attached a sketch of the system (the wire is depicted with red).
Can anyone help me with this?
Furthermore, is there any way to have a parametrized AutoCAD drawing imported in COMSOL, so that one can do a parameter sweep?
Thank you

Hi Paul,
Without AutoCAD: sweep a cross-section (drawn in a workplane) along a parametric curve.
With AutoCAD: with LiveLink for AutoCAD ( www.comsol.com/livelink-for-autocad ) you can import a parametrized geometry into COMSOL. It remains parametrized so that you can do a parametric sweep. This requires that AutoCAD and COMSOL be on the same computer so they can "talk" to each other.
Best,
Jeff

How do you sweep along a parametric curve?
