Hi everyone,

 

I have an enclosed volume thanks to 2D triangular meshing elements.

I would like to extract a surface from this meshing but keep those triangles pattern (e.g. each small surface has to be exactly a 2d triangular element of hte previous meshing).

 

Usually I use the menu 'Geom' -> 'Surfaces' but the result is not what I expect.

 

Could you give me an advice ?

 

Thank you in advance,

    The only way to satisfy your need is to export your mesh into STL format.

    This is exactly the kind of answer I needed.

     

    Many thanks for your help.
