Add spheres based on x, y, and z coordinates and radius from txt file

I have a list of spheres in a text file that has the format of x, y, z, and radius. Is there an easy way have COMSOL add these spheres to the geometry? The only module beyond the base product that I have is the RF Module. An example of my sphere coordinate/radius file would look something like:
10 20 5 4
13.6 18.2 5 6.1

42 23 5 3.1

Hi Paul,
if you are willing to do some Java coding you can automate it in a model method or in an application method. There is no option for that in the GUI.

I'm happy to do some coding, but haven't really explored the model methods/application methods much. Are there any tricks to importing the text files in these methods?

Well, no tricks. The java API has most or even all standard methods, and of course the file methods available. I would recommend to check the documentation and some examples in the application library.

OK, that doesn't sound too bad then. I'll have a look. Thanks for the tip!
