Exporting the warped mesh/geometry

You can export the warped mesh/geometry in CAD format, STL format, or Moldflow study file format, so that it can be opened in another application.

To use this function, you must have Warp results.

There are two ways to export a warped mesh/geometry: export the mesh so that it shows the Actual Warp Deflection result, or export the mesh so that it shows an Opposite deflection and so the negated geometry.

  1. Navigate to a Deflection result in the Study Tasks pane and click it. The selected result is displayed on the model.
  2. Click Export Warpage Mesh/Geometry (Results tab > Export and Publish panel > Warp Shape).
  3. Click a file format type option button in the Format area. Your selection will depend on the type of application to which you will export.
  4. Click either Actual or Opposite in the Direction area.
  5. Enter a Scale factor if you want to visually magnify the warpage, and click OK. The Save As dialog appears.
  6. Enter a File name and navigate to the required location, and then click Save.
