If you want the file that more closely approximates the original file without voxelization, you should use the \u201cGeometry with Displacement\u201d file and put that into Paraview to apply the warp factor, extract the surface (if needed), and save the STL file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-166764","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-1-2-1","topic-tag-19-1","topic-tag-additive-print","topic-tag-additive-manufacturing","topic-tag-desktop","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["5\/4\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_author_ip":["209.182.204.162"],"_btv_view_count":["818"],"siebel_km_number":["2056694"],"product_version":["19.1"],"km_published_date":["2018-10-17T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Structural Mechanics"],"application_name":["Additive Print"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166764\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
