Another question: I know from other CAD programs that you got Elements like PShell or PSolid or Solid186 and so on, is there any way i can see wich elements im using in Comsol or even change them? Thank you ;) I just saw common names for it but no specific.

Hi
when you come to COMSOL , you must forget some of the "old" ways to do FEM.
Here we concentrate on the physics not on the mesh, meshing is discretization of the volume, based on the expected dependent varible values and gradients physics and mesh are differentiated, as it should have always beeen ;)
In COMSOL you can shoose shell, membrane, beam or solid "structural" "physics" or any mix of (if so be sure you get the knitting of the different dependent variables correct as for any other FEM programme)

Good luck
