      Starting with Fluent Meshing 18.2 it is no longer possible to export STL files from Fluent Meshing. However, there are two other options: 1. STL export is available in Fluent when using the Adjoint Solver. Open the design tool from the ribbon: Design > Design Tool… The export STL from there. This is only available for 3D cases. 2. CFD-Post can also export STL files for 2D and 3D cases.
