Importing and Exporting Meshes
It can be useful to import meshes already created by external software or, alternatively, to export a mesh generated by COMSOL Multiphysics into other software. Importing an externally generated mesh can be helpful when a mesh is already saved in a file and recreating the geometry would be difficult and time consuming.
When the quality of the mesh needs to be improved, or a different element size is needed, it is possible to remesh imported meshes without creating a geometry first.
