How to make circular rings in COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello, I am fairly new to COMSOL Multiphysics and I am trying to build a capacitor enclosed by a series of circular rings in 3D.

I have attempted it by building a series of helixes with 1 turn along with a radial and axial pitch of zero.

However, this results in an error where the program says that the geotmety has intersected itself.

I have been able to build it in two dimensions as shown in the attachment but I want to try to get it into 3D.

Owen,

what you need is a torus, not a helix.
