Form union with SolidWorks assembly (mix of surface and solids)

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all,

I am attempting to use SolidWorks geometry within COMSOL. I have a small speaker diaphragm modelled as a surface along with other components modelled as solids which (before I form a union) all appear correctly.

I have two air domains either side of the diaphragm When I form a union with the parts (which completes successfully) my surface appears to be consumed (i.e. part of the same domain as the surrounding air). This occurs when I have the air domain split either side of the diaphragm or when the domain is continuous with the diaphragm in it, which is odd as the loudspeaker vented tutorial has a similar setup, but does not result with surfaces consumed. If anyone knows how to sort this out, that would really help.
