In Simulation Mechanical it isnt possible to export the deformed 3D model to a Step, Iges or STL file. I would like to see functionality implemented to allow for exporting to a CAD neutral format like STEP.
It is possible to accomplish this by exporting to an .fbx (Showcase) file from Simulation Mechanical, then importing that file into 3ds Max, and finally exporting to an .stl file. However, being able to go directly to a CAD neutral format from Simulation Mechanical would be a huge benefit.
I view this lack of capability as a critical flaw - the only use of this product, without exporting capabilities, is pretty pictures. Useless pretty pictures.
