LiveLink™ for Solid Edge® Updates


For users of LiveLink™ for Solid Edge®, COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.4 adds support for the latest CAD file formats and introduces the ability to preview CAD assemblies in the Graphics window. Read more about these updates below.

Updated CAD File Import

The CAD file import functionality now supports the latest versions of all compatible file formats. For a complete list of supported CAD file formats, visit the Read from File, CAD section of the CAD specification chart.

3D Preview of CAD Assemblies

Selecting specific components to import from a CAD assembly is now easier with the new 3D preview functionality within the Graphics window. This preview functionality is available when importing CAD assemblies saved in the file formats of the Inventor®, NX™, PTC Creo Parametric™, PTC Pro/ENGINEER®, and SOLIDWORKS® software.
