Hello All,
I’ve been reading this forum for some time now, but finally need some help.
Is there a way to export the mesh created in Simulation as an STL?
The standard export option from the File->Export menu within ZW3D itself does not give you the advanced features needed to create a tighter mesh made available in Simulation.
As you’ll see in the attached images, the Simulation mesh is much tighter and connected vertexes compared to just exporting from the model view.
HI
Dude, that’s an interesting part you got there. It reminds me of something that goes off in bursts.
For anyone in the future who may be looking for an answer, I’ve contacted ZW support and there is no way (as of 2025) to export the simulation mesh created in ZW3D as an STL file.
You can, however, export a simulation mesh as an STL with their other software called ZWSIM Structural.
It would have been nice to have a plugin for ZW3D, but as of right now, I have to buy another separate program.
