Exporting a simulated workpiece as STL file

Application

In the simulation you can use the Save function to save the current status of the simulated workpiece as a 3D model in STL format.

The file size of the 3D model depends on the complexity of the geometry and the selected model quality.

Description of function

AS_4_24_12_Simulation_exportieren_PGM_2_Flansch_flange
Simulated workpiece

This function can be used only in the Editor mode.

The control can only display STL files with up to 30,000 triangles. If the exported 3D model has too many triangles, due to the excessively high model quality, then you cannot use the exported 3D model on the control.

In this case, reduce the model quality in the simulation.

Simulation settings window

You can also use the 3D mesh function to reduce the number of triangles (option 152).
