Hi all,

I want to save the deflected shape of a mirror calculated in Mechanica to be used in later optical analysis. I can not use tessellated surfaces or the mesh geometry. I need very high accuracy. I want to "update" the CAD model geometry (UG or Pro/E) with the exact deflected shape. PTC did not want to reveal their shape functions by allowing this. Does anyone know how this could be done?
