Import Mesh Part or Meshing Sequence
Create a geometry object from an imported mesh.
Syntax
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Import");
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).importData();
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).setAttribute(attribute,<value>);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getAttribute(attribute);
Description
Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Import") to create a geometry import feature. Set the property sequence to the tag of another geometry sequence in the model.
none | custom | integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme
The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.
Tag of meshing sequence or mesh part to import, or none to create a new mesh part from a mesh file.
on | off
all | obj | dom | bnd | edg | pnt | off
Show selections, if selresult is on, in physics, materials, and so on; in part instances; or in 3D from a plane geometry. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.

When building, the import feature takes the finalized mesh (if the sequence imports a mesh) or the current mesh (if it is not an imported mesh) of the specified sequence and constructs a corresponding geometry object.
The method
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).importData()
imports the sequence again. The imported objects are represented using the COMSOL Multiphysics geometry modeler. The CAD Import Module’s geometry modeler (Parasolid) does not support these types of geometries.
If selresult is set to on, a selection is created for all resulting entities of each type (object, domain, boundary, edge, and point), for use in the geometry sequence. To access the object selection, use model.geom(<tag>).selection(<ftag>), where <tag> is the geometry tag and <ftag> is the feature tag. To access the other selections, use model.geom(<tag>).selection(<ftag>.<lvl>), where <tag> is the geometry tag, <ftag> is the feature tag, and <lvl> is one of dom, bnd, edg, or pnt. If, in addition, selresultshow is set to a value other than off, all or some of these selections appear for use outside the geometry sequence. To access these selections, use model.selection(<tag>_<ftag>_<lvl>), where <tag> is the geometry tag, <ftag> is the feature tag, and <lvl> is one of dom, bnd, edg, or pnt.
If selindividual is set to on, a selection is created for all resulting entities of each type (object, domain, boundary, edge, and point) of each individual object, for use in the geometry sequence. To access the object selections, use model.geom(<tag>).selection(<otag>), where <otag> is a tag derived from the name of the imported object. For standard object names of the form <ftag>(<n>), where <n> is an object number, the corresponding <otag> is <ftag>_<n>. To access the other selections, use model.geom(<tag>).selection(<otag>_<lvl>), where <otag> is a tag derived from the name of the imported object. If, in addition, selindividualshow is set to a value other than off, all or some of these selections appear for use outside the geometry sequence. To access these selections, use model.selection(<tag>_<otag>_<lvl>), where <otag> is a tag derived from the name of the imported object. For standard object names of the form <ftag>(<n>), where <n> is an object number, the corresponding <otag> is <ftag>_<n>.
