I am getting an error with stl export operator. Any ideas why? The mesh region is found fine with the mesh_provider op, but the stl export fails with: Could not find the specified Output Type

import mech_dpf

import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf
my_file_path=r'C:\Users\mthompso\MyData\test.stl'

dataSource = dpf.DataSources(Model.Analyses[0].ResultFileName)
op = dpf.operators.mesh.mesh_provider() # operator instantiation

op.inputs.data_sources.Connect(dataSource)

my_mesh = op.outputs.mesh.GetData()
op = dpf.operators.mesh.stl_export() # operator instantiation

op.inputs.mesh.Connect(my_mesh)

op.inputs.file_path.Connect(my_file_path)

stl = op.outputs.data_sources.GetData()

    I've created a PR to fix that bug.

    Meanwhile, note that you can use "op.Run()" instead of "stl = op.outputs.data_sources.GetData()".
