Hello,

The CAD Import Module, Design Module and LiveLink for CAD products, version 5.3a, support SOLIDWORKS .sldprt and .sldasm files of versions 98-2017.

The CAD Import Module, Design Module and LiveLink for CAD products, version 5.4, support SOLIDWORKS .sldprt and .sldasm files of versions 98-2018.

See if you can get your COMSOL installation updated to 5.4. If that is not possible, but if you can save the CAD file in a different format, you will find the list of formats and versions of those formats, that are supported by version 5.3a in the documentation (e.g. it's on page 27 in the User's Guide for the CAD Import Module).

Best,

Jeff
