New feature: STL export #1242

Open germa89 opened 2 years ago

germa89 commented 2 years ago

Description of the feature

Currently you cannot export to STL, but you can export the "view" created by the plotting functions using Pyvista.

We should be able to generate STL files of the full geometry without plotting.

Steps for implementing the feature

Reevaluate steps because of comments.

Better implement first DPF

There is already an operator in DPF-Core which can do it: https://dpfdocs.pyansys.com/api/ansys.dpf.core.operators.mesh.stl_export.html

Thank you @bedermaus !

If we are going to reuse the DPF operator, we will introduce DPF as a dependency. We should coordinate with #1298
