Create a parametric geometry starting from an imported STEP file

Hello everyone,

I have a .STEP file and I want to import it in COMSOL. Is it possible to convert this CAD file in a parametric geometry in COMSOL?

Hello Carmine,

parametrization of a step file is not possible unless you use a Deform Geometry Physics. The simplest way to parametrize a CAD model is to use Livelink products which let be possible to link also to the quotes of the CAD design.
