The File menu option Mesh > Export geometry exports a deformed geometry into a simplified FEM mesh file. Depending on the format, oSP3D might not create an executable FEM mesh file. For example, oSP3D does not know material laws.
The output file contains at least finite element nodes and mostly finite elements (at least their respective analogy in oSP3D). If supported by the target format, node and element sets are exported. The mesh topology is based on the reference mesh, but you can change the x, y, and z coordinates.
When exporting, you can choose:
The output file name and file format. Only STL, LS-DYNA, and Nastran mesh file formats are fully supported. Ansys Mechanical mesh file formats are partially supported. For more information, see the appropriate file format specifications.
Whether the x, y, and z coordinates are modified.
Whether the x, y, and z coordinates are defined by user-specified coordinates or coordinate deviations (with respect to the reference mesh).
The data object that is to define the x, y, and z coordinates. The data object must be of type node. It is defined by its quantity identifier (from a drop-down list) and its design identifier (from the input line or a drop-down list). The design identifier can specify a sample number or a result name.
