Why does Ansys export the results to a single body as STL even if they are two components?

03 March 2019 1 316 Report

I have two components that are in contact in the analysis, but after the completion, when I export to STL , SpaceClaim knows only one single body.

How do I resolve this problem ?

Farzad Torabi

Thank you. Depending on the geometry, I would say not really
