Dear Colleagues, I have set up a workflow with the following steps.
- Algorithmically generate a multibody Modelica model with Mathematica;
- "Fine-tune” and debug the Modelica model in System Modeler;
- Simulate the model in System Modeler to check its sanity.
I have a requirement to export 3D models of the multibody at each time step of the simulation. The file formats are multitude; here are several examples, STL, IGES, LWO, (Lightwave Object), STEP203, STEP214CD. It would be great if the exported file preserved the hierarchy and names of the objects in the Modelica file. For example, I don’t think STL stores any information about the objects; it just saves points and facets definitions. I would have to check the others.
To summarize, I need to export in the 3D model used to generate the screenshots in the images posted below.
I haven't been able to find a solution on my own and I have decided to ask the community while I wait for Tech Support.
Thank you,
BU
