Dear Sir,

I have designed 3d capacitive single axis accelerometer. So can i convert this 3d geometry model to any of the formats such as, .stl or .stp or.igs. Please suggest me.

Hi

If it is a COMSOL geometry I do not believe you can export it in other than COMSOL geom format. There are licence issues around echange of propretarian formats, and stl is not a true 3D format, iges not really either

If you have imported the geometry from a CAD, I belive you can reexport it, but I have never tried.

But I use the COMSOL geom for my simple modls, and to complete received CAD models, never the other way ;)

Good luck
