Extrude/giving thickness to a parametric curve

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I am using a parametric curve to describe a geometry and I would like to give it a thickness (on the z-axis) to it. How can I extrude this correctly? Both extrude and sweep don't seem to work in this case. Any suggestions?

Guilherme,

you should be able to extrude the curve when you define it on a workplane.

Cheers Edgar

Dear Edgar,

In my file, when I try to create a working plane, the 2-D representation of it includes all the other geometries drawn while I want to extrude the "square" I've created with the parametric curve. May I ask how I set the workplane to include only the parametric curve I've created?

EDIT: After a long while I understood that I had to insert the parametric curve inside the work plane in COMSOL. However now I need to fill this parametric curve (I want it to be a solid). Can I ask to directions again?
