Exporting to an STL File
An alternative way of setting the STL file formats is to use
model.component(
<ctag>
).geom(
<tag>
).export().setSTLFormat(
<format>
);
where
<format>
is string with only two allowed values:
binary
and
text
. The methods
setType(
<format>
)
and
setSTLFormat(
<format>
)
will set the correct value for the other, so you only need to use one of them.
Use the following methods to select domains or boundaries to export:
model.component(
<ctag>
).geom(
<tag>
).export().selection().init(
<edim>
);
model.component(
<ctag>
).geom(
<tag>
).export().selection().set(
<objnames>, <entlst>
);
Use the following methods to select objects to export:
model.component(
<ctag>
).geom(
<tag>
).export().selection().init();
model.component(
<ctag>
).geom(
<tag>
).export().selection().set(
<objnames>
);
Finish the export by using the following line
model.component(
<ctag>
).geom(
<tag>
).export(
<filename>
);
