Export data out of XC

[berndhahnebach]

Is one of the following possible and if yes how? workingModel of ana is agreat example to play with ...

• export geometry entries to step, dxf, txt or any other format?
• export fem-mesh to vtk, unv, stl or any other format?
• export results to vtk?

Cheers bernd

There exist a package that exports the the geometry to SCIA XML: sciaXML. It can export also the mesh but the SCIA model that results is not very useful. You can see an example here: xc_to_scia.py.

There is also the module DxfReader.py that can be use to import the geometry from a DXF file. You can see an example here: import_from_dxf.py.

There is also some methods in the module NeutralMeshDescription.py that allos to import a mesh from DAT files generated by Salome. You can see an example here: dat_to_xc.py.

You can also export the mesh to Paraview file format using vtkXMLUnstructuredGridWriter in VTK; I've added an example here: mesh_to_vtk_file_test.py. The model imported in Paraview (with some warnings in the process) looks like that:

I Imagine there is a way to export the results to VTK (Paraview) too but i've never used it.
