Surface export from Fluent to any CAD format

      I have done the erosion analysis coupled with dynamic meshing. I could see the deformed/eroded surface in contour.

      I want to export that deformed/eroded surface from ansys in STL file format or any other standard CAD modelling format.

      Anyone help me on it?

      The simple approach is to export a VRML via post processing. Otherwise, if you read the boundary mesh into Fluent Meshing you should be able to strip everything you don't want to take the eroded surface mesh into CAD.
