Hi.

I have a question regarding composites analysis. There's a method to export plies of the laminate in step format?

I saw that this argument was already discussed some years ago, but I can't find the solution. I saw that some users talk about the Script, but I can't find it anymore. I can't export it as Parasolid because from the elements I have to create a surface, but if I select one plie (for example) and I select the command "Surface > From FE" I export all the surface of the component, not the only one specific plie. Can You Help Me?

Thank You.

    For reference,

    In the HyperMesh Aerospace ribbon, there is a tool called Ply Geometry Smoothing which can be used to smooth ply boundaries, create lines and surfaces, and export the data to a step file.
