How to export deformed body or body eroded after explicit analysis as geometry file (stp or Iges)?

rahulb

Is there a way to export the deformed body of body that has undergone erosion in explicit analysis as a geometry file.

This is to compute the mass of deformed or eroded body after impact.

To get the mass of the deformed/eroded body after impact, open the data folder (MECH) to look for the print file: admodel.prt. Use notepad to open the .prt file. Material summary and Energy summary are near the end of the file. Mass can be found from these summaries.

The Solution of Explicit Dynamics system (deformed body) can be linked to a Geometry cell and opened in SpaceClaim. Then export the stp/iges files from SpaceClaim.
