Hi all, nI'm trying to export the mesh in mechanical as STL file, without requiring any click from the user.nVia the Recording tool in the ACTConsole I've found the command context_menu.DoExportToSTLFile(ExtAPI), but this open the Save As window. nIs there a way to give via script a name and a file path and export to that, without requiring further user intervention?nTo me, it seems that the DoExportToSTLFile() is a wrapper for a ExportToSTLFile function, but scouting with the dir command all the mesh-related objects, I haven't managed to find any reference to a STL export...nMind that I am aware of Model.Geometry.ExportToSTL(path), but this is not what I need, since I need the local refinement of the mesh to be in place, while the aforementioned command export with a rough element size. I've also tried to reduce the max edge length via the STL export options, but this refines all the elements in the stl model, while I need the precision only in some locations.
