      Additive print Result/Output files are mostly available in an AVZ (ANSYS Viewer format) or a VTK (Visualization Toolkit) format. As of release 19.0, the result files cannot be converted to an STL using the inbuilt Viewer in the desktop version of Additive Print. However, using Paraview, the VTK files can be converted to an STL. In Paraview, use Filters => extract surface, Filters => triangulate, File => Save Data – choose stereolithography (stl) file type and save. Do not forget to hit ‘Apply’ on the lefthand side after each step.
