Importing a fracture network geometry creating m-file to comsol

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Good day.

I am attempting to simulated flow through 3-D Discrete fracture networks and have a matlab code for the statistical generation of my different geometries. Please does anyone know how i can export this to COMSOL so that i can couple it to the flow equations for solving.
I will really appreciate your help with this.
Thanks!

Hi,
do you have Matlab LiveLink for COMSOL?
How does the fracture geometry data look like?

Thanks for your interest in my question
The data I have in MATLAB consists of a matrix to represent the x, y and z coordinates of the fracture centers, a vector representing the length of the fracture, another vector representing the aperture and a vector describing the orientation(angle of inclination) of the fractures in space. I am having challenges visualizing the data on MATLAB space too but since the ultimate goal is to import the geometry to COMSOl so as to solve the fflow equations.. i thought COMSOL might just have a way to display the results i wanted.
I do have access to MATLab Livelink.
Looking forward to your help with this.

Toyin.
