does anyone know if Ansys model can be imported into Comsol3.5 or 4.0?
what are the other FEA software Comsol can import?
Any imput would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

AFAIK none. Comsol does not "import" from any software the way you expect the "import" to work. However you can import your mesh in several forms and apply your physics and boundary conditions; much easier than ANSYS in Comsol.

Hi
What I'm doing is to translate ANSYS to NASTRAN by a small company in Switzerland, and then import the Nastran neutral file into comsol. This gives you the mesh read into COMSOL (and consolidated to a analyzed geometry) that you can apply BC's on and analyse further. But its not very simple and it gives you quite some work and checks to do. Very little of the grouping data or BC's or material data is read in, if any. It works only for 3D structural (no beams nor shells)
It's not the easiest way, so when I can I import the geometry and start from scratch.
It's also no posiible to export, personally I would like to have a better and easier I/F to other tools, but its also quite difficult because the way the different FEM programmes are made. But at least the logical groups, by material could be imported / exported in a more evident way.
Not an optimistic reply, but that's my experience
Have fun Comsoling
