How to Extrude, Revolve, and Sweep 2D Geometries in COMSOL Multiphysics®

COMSOL Multiphysics® contains a handful of tools to quickly and easily convert 2D planar geometries into 3D objects, namely, the Extrude, Revolve, and Sweep geometry operations. This capability is particularly useful when you are creating a geometry that is symmetric along an axis, or axisymmetric. In this video, we use three examples to demonstrate how to best use each tool. If you would like more information on creating a 2D geometry in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, please watch this tutorial video:    • How to Build 2D Geometries in COMSOL ...
