weldx.geometry.Geometry.to_file#

Geometry.to_file(file_name, profile_raster_width, trace_raster_width)#

Write the Geometry data into a CAD file.

The geometry is rasterized and triangulated before the export. All file formats supported by meshio that are based on points and triangles can be used (For example .stl or .ply). Just add the corresponding extension to the file name. For further information about supported file formats refer to the [meshio documentation](https://pypi.org/project/meshio/).

Parameters:

  • file_name (str) – Name of the file. Add the extension of the desired file format.

  • profile_raster_width (Quantity) – Target distance between the individual points of a profile

  • trace_raster_width (Quantity) – Target distance between the individual profiles on the trace
