Export, ExportFinal

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export().selection().set(<objnames>);

where <objnames> is a string array of object names.

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export().setType(<format>);

where <format> determines the file format. See Table 3-21 for valid type value names available with the CAD Import Module, Design Module, or a LiveLink product for CAD software.

Table 3-21: File Formats supported for Export.
File Format	File Extension	Type Value
Parasolid Binary (3D)	.x_b, .xmt_bin	parasolidbin
Parasolid Text (3D)	.x_t, .xmt_txt	parasolidascii
ACIS Binary (3D)	.sab	acisbin
ACIS Text (3D)	.sat	acisascii
IGES File (3D)	.igs, .iges	iges
STEP File (3D)	.step, .stp	step

Check which file format is set for the export using

String formatType = model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export().getType();

To export the file enter

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export(<filename>);

To export the finalized geometry to a file, enter

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).exportFinal(<filename>);

where <filename> is a string.

When exporting to an ACIS file you can set the ACIS file format version using

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export().setAcisVersion(<version>);

where <version> is a string 4.0, 7.0, or 2016 1.0. Default is 2016 1.0.

The Parasolid text or binary file generated by the export is of version 36.

When exporting to a Parasolid format, a unit conversion can optionally be performed during export. Use the following method to select the export length unit:

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export().setLengthUnit(<unit>);

where <unit> is either fromgeom (default) to disable unit conversion or a COMSOL Multiphysics length unit, such as m for meters or in for inches. To get the current value of the export length unit type:

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export().getLengthUnit();

To decide how the nonmanifold objects are exported use the following method:

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export().setSplitInManifold(<value>);

where <value> is either true (default) to split the objects into manifold objects during the export, or false to export the unmodified objects.

When exporting to the IGES format, a unit conversion can optionally be performed during export. Use the following method to select the export length unit:

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export().setLengthUnitIGES(<unit>);

where <unit> is either fromgeom (default) to disable unit conversion or a supported length unit: uin, um, mil, mm, cm, in, ft, m, km, mi.To get the current value of the export length unit type:

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export().getLengthUnitIGES();

When exporting to the STEP format, a unit conversion can optionally be performed during export. Use the following method to select the export length unit:

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export().setLengthUnitSTEP(<unit>);

where <unit> is either fromgeom (default) to disable unit conversion or a supported length unit: nm, uin, um, mil, mm, cm, in, dm, ft, m, km, mi. To get the current value of the export length unit type:

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).export().getLengthUnitSTEP();
