I have 3d mesh file in hypermesh all c3d4 elements and I am not able to export the file into STL file format.  I have edited the mesh and now I want to export the final file in STL format. the user profile is Abaqus. please help me. 

same part I was able to export before editing mesh. now it is showing error as 1250 elements are not defined in the template.

I have updated the element type already still it is giving me the same error.

 

thank you

    Important thing to know: STL is suitable format for surface presentation only.

    So for solid, you got only external surface presentation, not volume.
