Hi All,

I'm trying to model a toroidal inductor in 3D with a rectangular cross-section. I've successfully made the CAD model, and am trying to import it into COMSOL. However, I'm getting internal error code 900, and I suspect its because since I patterned a single turn to get the toroid shape, when the turns meet, they dont match nicely. In SolidWorks, everything looks great (the wires are circular and the separate turns meet nicely), but when I imported them into COMSOL, it seems that COMSOL made the circular cross section of the wire hexagonal, and the separate turns now don't completely overlap. Is there a way to better resolve this import, and if so how?

I can include a picture of this nonoverlap if that would make it more clear.

Thanks, Henry
