How to export a mesh file as STL in ansys fluent?
This is the main section of code where I try to export a mesh file:
generate_volume_mesh = workflow.TaskObject["Generate the Volume Mesh"] generate_volume_mesh.Arguments.update_dict({"VolumeFill": "poly-hexcore"}) generate_volume_mesh.Execute() mesh_file = r"C:\Users\forha\OneDrive\Documents\GitHub\F1car-wAI\my_mesh.stl" session.tui.file.export.stl("ANSYS Fluent", "2024R1", "meshing", mesh_file)
The error happens at the last line of code. When that code is ran, it tells me this:
Exception has occurred: RuntimeError menu not found grpc._channel._InactiveRpcError: <_InactiveRpcError of RPC that terminated with: status = StatusCode.UNKNOWN details = "menu not found" debug_error_string = "UNKNOWN:Error received from peer {created_time:"2024-10-20T20:51:02.9016385+00:00", grpc_status:2, grpc_message:"menu not found"}" > During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: File "C:\Users\forha\OneDrive\Documents\GitHub\F1car-wAI\fluentTest2.py", line 109, in <module> session.tui.file.export.stl("ANSYS Fluent", "2024R1", "meshing", mesh_file) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ RuntimeError: menu not found
In the Pyfluent documentation, it says that the stl class has 4 inputs; service, version, mode and path. It's possible that these inputs are wrong, but I'm not really sure what they should be changed to. It's also possible that the function is wrong, but again i'm not sure.

Hi
I have not used pyfluent, but try just adding like here (
https://github.com/ansys/pyfluent/issues/2188 ):...tui.file.export.stl(file_name = r"C:\Users\forha\OneDrive\Documents\GitHub\F1car-wAI\my_mesh.stl")
If this does not help then post here for more help:

Can you try not saving on Onedrive - just save on C or D somewhere.
All the best
Erik
PS: use this way:
.tui.file.export.stl(file_name = r"C:\Users....\Documents\GitHub\F1car-wAI\my_mesh.stl")
