Description

This function exports a faceted surface from the FRED model to an *.obj file.

 

 

Syntax

success = FacetedSurfExportToObjFile( fsNode, fileName, bOverwrite )

 

 

Parameters

success (Boolean)

Returned boolean indicating whether the faceted surface was successfully written to a file.

 

fsNode As Long

Node number of the faceted surface being exported.

 

fileName As String

Full path name to the *.obj file where the faceted surface is being written.

 

bOverwrite As Boolean

Boolean argument indicating whether any existing files at the same location as fileName should be overwritten.

 

 

Example

The following example first retrieves the node number of a faceted surface and then writes the surface to an *.obj file on disk.  After the export, the script prints a message indicating whether the export was successful.

 

Sub Main

    Dim fName As String

    Dim fsNode As Long

    Dim success As Boolean

    fsNode  = FindFullName( "Geometry.Elem 1.Faceted Surface Test" )

    fName   = "C:\temp\facetedGeometryExport.obj"

    success = FacetedSurfExportToObjFile( fsNode, fName, True )

    Print "Model was exported?: " & success

 

End Sub
