I want to save the file as a .stl file but no other file types appear when I try to save.Additionally, there is no export button option in the Create category under Facets.https://us.v-cdn.net/6032193/uploads/MU69F6GZIGKF/error.pnghttps://forum.ansys.com/discussion/25134/no-other-file-types-show-up-when-i-want-to-export-is-there-a-setting-im-missing

So the 2021 SC student version isn't going to allow export options or save as STL options? Or did you find a setting, and or figure this out another way? I actually had this issue with the 2020 version. Figured out how to fix it, but I don't remember how. I looked back in my messages and see several different options, but again I'm unsure which one actually resolved it. I think it might be the option that involved when installing the software you need to make sure you click on the install Translators option when Run Administrator option on setup is selected. Although currently I uninstalled it all and after selecting Run Administrator option is started it thinks for a few second and then does nothing. Not sure, might be a glitch or something. Here is a link to my discussion: https://forum.ansys.com/thread/stl-andbother-file-type-missing/. Rob and ANSYS_BBueno are the two that helped me with this. n
