exportGeometry{
export the actually imported geometry file in STL or OBJ format
Export the currently read geometry in
STL or
OBJ format. These formats can be directly visualized by ParaView.
Export is done either before or after
GeometryManipulations are executed, or both.
ARGUMENTS can be one or a subset of:
-
- OBJ (export in obj format)
- OBJs (export in obj format and separate geometry files for each group)
- OBJc (export in obj format and single geometry file with group names)
- STL (export in stl format)
- BEFORE or BeforeGeometryTransformations (export the geometry exactly as discribed in the original file FileName)
- AFTER or AfterGeometryTransformations (export the geometry after all manipulations have been executed)
The resulting files are written to
ExportGeometryDirectory.
Example:
Exports the geometry before and after the
GeometryManipulations have been executed. In this way, most preferably
together with the option
CONTROL_StopAfterReadingGeometry, one is able to quick-check the consistency of the
GeometryManipulations.
Note: Currently, also the keyword
exportFile{} works in the same way as
exportGeometry{}.
If the
exportGeometry{}-option is used as standalone, i.e.
a file with the name GIFgeometry.stl or GIFgeometry_*.obj is created in
ExportGeometryDirectory.
