Example

application = cf.Application.GetInstance()
project = application:Load({FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/Dipole_Example.cfx]]})

    -- Export all geometry to an ACIS file

project.Exporter.Geometry.ExportFileFormat = cf.Enums.ExportGeometryFileFormatEnum.ACIS
project.Exporter.Geometry:Export([[temp_Export.sat]])

    -- Export all mesh to a Nastran file

project.Exporter.Mesh.ExportFileFormat = cf.Enums.ExportMeshFileFormatEnum.NASTRAN
project.Exporter.Mesh:Export([[temp_Export.nas]])

Inheritance

The Exporter object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

The Exporter object can be accessed from the following locations:

Properties
- Model object has property Exporter.

Property List

Geometry: The geometry exporter. (Read only GeometryExporter)
Label: The object label. (Read/Write string)
Mesh: The mesh exporter. (Read only MeshExporter)
Type: The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

Delete (): Deletes the entity.
Duplicate (): Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties (): Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
SetProperties (properties Object): Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties (): Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
