Export Problems

Post by mareikeh »

Hi,
I would like to export my model as a STEP file, but some of the yarns doesn´t export.
I tried different computers, but it does not change anything. Can you help me? (Unfortunately I cannot attach my python script)
Thanks!
Best regards,
Mareike

Hi Mareike,

The STEP export uses an external library, OpenCASCADE, which can be somewhat unreliable, depending on your model. The faceted export tends to be more robust than the smooth. If you zip your Python script you should be able to attach it to a post.

Is there a reason that you're using the STEP export rather than one of the other exports available. The STEP export only exports the geometry so you will lose any information about volume fraction or yarn orientation.

Kind regards,
Louise
