How to Create 2D Models from 3D Geometries in COMSOL Multiphysics®
COMSOL Multiphysics® contains functionality that enables you to quickly and easily convert 3D geometries into 2D models, namely by using work planes along with the Cross Section Geometry operation. This functionality is useful when you want to create a 2D geometry from a 3D geometry or when you are working with a 3D geometry that displays some type of symmetry. In this video, we go over a simple example to demonstrate how to use these geometry tools and features.
