Alternative File Formats

pycad supports other file formats in including I-DEAS universal file, VRML, Nastran and STL. The following example shows how to generate the STL file brick.stl:
$\begin{python} from esys.pycad.gmsh import Design \par des=Design(dim=3, element... ...leFormat(des.STL) des.setMeshFileName(''brick.stl'') des.generate() \end{python}$
The example script of the cube is included with the software in brick_stl.py in the example directory.
