How do I export a shared topology geometry
Hello,
I have created a complicated geometry in which I have multiple intersecting components (spaceclaim)
I have then applied a series of cut operations to remove the intersections
Then I applied Share/Force Share operations in order to connect the components and create shared surfaces
Now I wish to export the resulting STP file in order to mesh it on another software
However, what I get in the STP file is the geometry after I cut but not after I share! So the components are disconnected.
How do I export the geometry after sharing the topology?
Thank you!

STP is neutral format and it does not understand share topology. This will happen to all other neutral formats.
Share topology done in SpaceClaim will be identified by Workbench Meshing and Fluent Meshing when you read SpaceClaim file. So you can use these tools for meshing.
