Description

The PolyVoxel frame contains options for exporting voxel cells as polyhedra, for CAE formats that support it.

Export CAE Panel: PolyVoxel Frame
Voxels can be exported as polyhedra for CAE formats that support it.

When Export Voxels as Polyhedra is checked, the export process recombines the tetrahedra and pyramid cells used to transition between voxel sizes into polyhedra. Check Improve Face Orthogonality to also optionally offset the center nodes of the resultant polyhedra faces in order to improve face orthogonality. Improve Face Orthogonality is disabled if Export Voxels as Polyhedra is unchecked.

Voxel Block Transition Regions
During export, the tetrahedra and pyramids in the transition regions (displayed in red and yellow, respectively) are recombined into hex-shaped polyhedral cells.
