Drawing a circular array

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear all,

I want to draw a circular array inside a big circle. I did this with fairly big circles manually. But it is very difficult to do with small circles. Do you have an any idea of doing this automatically with comsol.
I have attached the drawing I want to do.

Hey,

Just go to Transform - > Rotate. Set up an input object and specify a rotation angle with the range and a step. Hit build selected.

Cheers,
