export sim results

Post by newbe »

Is it possible to export detail as nurbs or mesh?
I trying to engrave on a composite plastic and want to rener result.
Or may be it's possible to create "layered" stock, and see result of v-carving through layers?
I not find any option like this...

I believe in the simulation tab there is an option to export to STL in the Standard version and NURBS in the Pro version. I'm not at my workstation so I don't know exactly where it is.

As far as layered stock material, I've wished for that a long time ago because we route a lot of laminated material of different colors so it would be nice to see how the colors are revealed in the simulation.

You can export the simulated model as mesh (STL).

Simulate the machining operation from the simulate tab. Select the operation & click Stock->Export to STL File.

Ryan, simulated model can only be exported as STL. This is available on all product configurations.
