    Hi @Flip1303

     

    Use OSSmooth>>Geometry>> STL. This will output surface mesh in .stl format.

    Hi Prakash,

     

    I am surching for a way to see the surface directly in the output file (or something else) without any post-processing of the optimization results. Somehow like an unconstraint response. I need it as a classification number for results.

     

    Best regards!

    What type of optimization are you doing?

     

    If you are doing a free size optimization you can use FStoSZ command which outputs sizing(optimized model).

    I am doing a 'normal' topology optimization.
