Visualize a point cloud in comsol

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am trying to plot an array of points in COMSOL 4.3. My data is just the (x,y,z) coordinates. There is no field/surface associated with it. It is currently in .txt format

ex:
% x y z

-5.0000000e-003 0.0000000e+000 -4.0000000e-003
-4.5000000e-003 0.0000000e+000 -4.0000000e-003
-4.0000000e-003 0.0000000e+000 -4.0000000e-003
-3.5000000e-003 0.0000000e+000 -4.0000000e-003

The interpolation function doesn't seem to work for me and I'm not sure how to write an .stl file for data with only points and no field.

Please comment on how I can first import this file into comsol and also visualize the point cloud.

Thanks!
