Re: [Yade-users] [Question #631650]: Export the model as stl format
Question #631650 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/631650 Anton Gladky proposed the following answer: Hi, you can use export.gmshGeo [1] to export spheres in geo-file. It can be than imported into the GMSH, which is a three-dimensional finite element mesh generator [2]. Generated mesh exports in any available format, including STL, [1] https://github.com/yade/trunk/blob/master/py/export.py#L894 [2] http://gmsh.info/ Cheers, Anton -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users is an answer contact for Yade. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Yade-users] [Question #631650]: Export the model as stl format
Question #631650 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/631650 Klaus Thoeni proposed the following answer: Hi, here my thoughts: 1. export your packing as txt (r,x,y,z) 2. export a sphere with radius r=1 as STL from e.g. Meshlab (you can specify the subdivision level, i.e., how fine you want your mesh) 3. use the in step 2 generated sphere as a template 4. write a script that reads your txt file and generates STL-spheres according to your template, i.e., apply a translation and a scale to your coordinates of the template 5. the same script should then also write the new STL file with all spheres.

Question #631650 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/631650 Jan Stránský proposed the following answer: Thanks for more info. I think a good approach is to export spheres in a standard way and then convert this file to STL. Than the question would become "how to triangulate spheres and save it in STL" and independent on Yade. good luck Jan -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users is an answer contact for Yade. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

A few hours ago, there are someone told me that maybe I can obtain STL finally by importVTK into paraview first. I will tried it later. Thanks again.

Re: [Yade-users] [Question #631650]: Export the model as stl format
Question #631650 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/631650 Status: Open => Answered Jan Stránský proposed the following answer: Hello, > the export format is STL,but I can't find the effective way to export it Why do you want/need to export your model to STL? I am not very familiar with STL format, but according to [1] it represents solids as their triangulated surface. Since your model is full of spheres, the choice of export format does not make sense to me and that you cannot find any effective way is the consequence.. If you insist on STL, you can triangulate surface of each sphere and do the export of these triangulations. A problem, according to further usage of the export, could be overlapping spheres.. Alternatovely you can use some standard export of spheres and do the triangulation/STL conversion as a postprocessing. cheers Jan [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format) -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users is an answer contact for Yade. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
