Hello,

 

how can i create a Surface mesh only with the data of the fe- mesh

 

In my case the fe mesh is the result of a Topology Optimation which i have reimported into hypermesh without smoothing.

 

I would like to 3D print the result of the unsmoothed Topology Optimation result and therefore i need a stl Surface mesh.

 

Is this possible? Thank you very much 

 

 

Regards

Andreas

    Hi Andreas,

     

    Does this optimized model have solid elements?

     

    I which case, you can extract faces (Tools>>Faces) and export to .stl format (you can also remesh the face elements to a finer mesh using auto mesh panel)
