IN 3D, I have made a structure of cone with fillet option on the top radius . I want to make a coating over that cone structure as a coating layer. can anyone help me in this regard to form the design. Thanking you

Hello Thanigaivelraja,

The optional Design Module includes a "Thicken" functionality that lets you create a layer with a finite thickness over a 3D surface. See www.comsol.com/design-module for some screenshots.

Best regards,

Jeff

Thanks for the reply. I am using 5.4 version , in that I cant able to find out the Thick layer option for any boundary physics condition. As you stated, the screenshots in that link were not clear. Can you able to help me in this issue .

Hello Thanigaivelraja,

1/ The Thicken operation existed already at version 5.4. But again, that feature was then, as it is now, available in the optional Design Module, so check whether your license includes that particular product. You can check on that by going to File > Licensed and Used Products.

2/ What I am talking about is a geometry operation, not a boundary condition, so make sure you are looking for it in the Gemetry branch of the Model Builder, not in the Physics branch.

3/ If you are specifically interested in applying a boundary condition to simulate the effect of the coating or how the coating is added (electrodeposition process? some other type of deposition process?...), rather than adding the layer as a geometry object, then I totally misunderstood your initial post and you can ignore all I said. My guess is that readers of this Discussion Forum will need substantially more information from you about what physics you are trying to simulate to be able to offer suggestions for mathematical boundary conditions that could achieve what you have in mind.

Best,

Jeff
