SectionCut.export(path, *, export_type='mesh_only')#

Export the section cut to a CDB file.

Parameters:

• path (str | PathLike[str]) – Path to the file where the section cut is saved.

• export_type (SectionCutCDBExportType) –

  Determines what is exported to the CDB file. Options are:

  • "mesh_only": Only the mesh (elements and nodes) is exported.

  • "solid_model": The section cut is expanded into a slice of solid elements. In addition, the material properties are exported and the element coordinate systems are aligned with the fiber direction. This model can be used to compute the equivalent beam properties of the section cut.
