Exporting Mesh to DXF or IGES
- Thread starter jalarron

The first problem is to convert your finite element model in a cad model with surfaces (=a part).
You can do it by writing a program file but it will take a long time.
I asked a similar question to the the french hot-line and they sent me a specific program which runs on AIX platform. This program is "creegeo_aix43.bin". I suppose that it exists on other platforms.
This program which is very fast, creates surfaces for each finite element (but only for triangular element).
Then you can export your part in an IGES file which will contain the surfaces. I haven't the DXF interface so I can't tell if it works.
Try to have this program by your local hot-line.
Good luck !!
