Import CAD model

[Trophime]

Hi, is it possible to import CAD with mph provided that we have a Comsol licence for that?
It will be great to add an example to demonstrate that feature if this can be done from python.

Yes, it's possible. You can access the full Comsol API. In other words, virtually everything you can do with Java, you can do with Python. The only exceptions are: extending Java classes, and (probably) creating a GUI program using Comsol's built-in widgets. But as far as automating the workflow goes, there are no limitations.

That being said, I have neither used all of Comsol's features, nor will I ever, and documenting them would be way beyond the scope of this project. There are simply too many. Let's not forget that Comsol's Programming Manual is over 1000 pages long.

For anything that isn't covered by MPh's API, please refer to the documentation section linked in the first paragraph. If it's not clear, I can amend or extend it. But ultimately, you'll have to figure out how to do this in Java, then do the same in Python. It's a straightforward process. Feel free to post your code here, that's what the discussion threads are for, so that users can learn from other users.
