Export geometry data

Good morning,

is there a way to export the geometry data of two-dimensional objects (triangle coordinates etc.) as a separate file? In the solver settings you can choose the option 'export to the Feko .out file', but there are a lot other quantities contained in the out file, which makes an extraction of the geometric data rather difficult.

Thank you very much!

    Hi Ju

    Of course from within CADFEKO you can export the mesh to a few formats such as STL or Nastran.

    Another way is to let the Feko solver do this. You would need to edit the EG card of the *.pre file in EDITFEKO.

    See section 4 "EDITFEKO" in the User Guide and then specifically the EG card.

     Enable Nastran or STL, save and Run Feko.

    Hi mel,

    beside the nastran file, I also need those data from the out file, which are entitled as  'data of metallic triangles' and 'data of the metallic edges'. Is there a way to export these data in separate files as well?

    That specific data output to the *.out file cannot be exported alone to a single file unfortunately.
