Export packed bed and particle geometries to .stl from Rocky for CFD

      Hi all,

      New to Rocky and I have been trying to export the geometry of packed bed particles to .stl (for CFD simulation later) from Rocky 2023R1 with academic license. 

      An approach using prepost script (see the figure below) is described in the webinar Rocky in Action: Particle Bed Reactor (https://www.ansys.com/resource-center/webinar/rocky-in-action-particle-bed-reactor). However, the script isn't there or available from Read-to-Use Script of Customer Portal, as all those links under Customer Portal lead to nowhere. 

      Also tried 5.5.7. Export User Process Geometry Triangles to an STL File of the user manual, that doesn't appear working either.

      Would very much appreciate it if anyone knew how to do this through GUI or script, or where to find the script.

       

      Kind regards

      Zhihe

        Hi,

        From https://download.ansys.com, you can find Add-On Packages under the version you want to use (say 2024R1), then you can see Additional Package under Ansys Rocky, containing this script.
