Exporting Geometry to File

To export the result of the Finalize feature to a file, enter

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

where <filename> is a string.

To export selected geometry objects to a file, first select the objects to export using

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

where <objnames> is a string array of object names. Then export them by entering

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

The file can be of any of the following formats:

Table 3-25: Valid File Formats

File Format	Note	File Extensions
COMSOL Multiphysics Binary		.mphbin
COMSOL Multiphysics Text		.mphtxt
Parasolid Binary (3D)	1, 2	.x_b
Parasolid Text (3D)	1, 2	.x_t
ACIS Binary (3D)	1, 3	.sab
ACIS Text (3D)	1, 3	.sat
STL Binary (3D)	4	.stl
STL Text (3D)	4	.stl
DXF (2D)		.dxf
1 This format requires a license for the CAD Import Module, Design Module, or a LiveLink product for a CAD package. 2 The exported Parasolid file format version is 28.1. 3 Use model.geom(<tag>).export().setAcisVersion(<version>) to specify the ACIS file format version (“4.0”, “7.0”; or the default “2016 1.0”). 4 Use model.geom(<tag>).export().setSTLFormat(<format>) to specify the STL file format (“binary” or “text”).
