ScanFE -- export to COMSOL format

Submitted by fiizyk on

Dear all,

 My goal is the simulation of the fluid and gas flow in porus media. As the first step few CT scans using X-ray tomography where prepared. Next I have prepared the 3d geometry using ScanIP and ScanFE application. The purpose was to export direct geometry to COMSOL .mphbin format posted in node/2300 using the new feauture of Scan FE.  Unfurtunatelly I have receved an error that the object imported has no geometry. I would like to point also thank I havestrictly followed instructions in the ScanFE dialog window and I have tried all possibilites of exporting.

The questions are:

1. Do I need to form different geometries: pore and sand resepctively ?

2. May I import Masks simulteneously? After export by the ScanFE does the information about masks extracted in ScanIP will be stored in COMSOL format ?

3. As far as I have understood, I do not have to remesh geometries while importing COMSOL format?

 

Coud somebody help me? I am rather beginner of the COMSOL enviroment. I don't want to use STL format due to fact of the rock pours nature which serves complicated geometry. Consequently their simplifying would be time  consumming.
