3d to 2d issues

Hello all,
I have a complex 3D geometry that was cut to 2D in SolidWorks. The resulting .sldprt file seems to contain a geometry that is formally still 3D in that all y-coordinates are now equal to zero. I cannot import this into a Comsol 2D geometry but only a 3D geometry. How can I convert this to a proper 2D dataset that Comsol will recognize. The info is all there, I just have to get rid of the y-coordinate somehow. Any ideas? Thank you!!

Hi
you need to convert it to DXF in SolidWorks, then you can import it in COMSOL 2D (which now accepts Z=0.
Note you might need to orient it in x-y, not sure (European way Z towards the sky and not Y helps quite a lot for the default orientations)

Good luck
