Exporting Coreform Flex Files

Coreform Cubit can export data to the Coreform Flex file format (.cf). This export will contain all geometry, hex meshes associated with the geometry, sidesteps, node sets, groups, and blocks in the Coreform Cubit file. The command to export .cf files is:

export coreform 'filename' [overwrite]

Merged or virtual geometry information that is associated with a hex mesh is stored in the .cf file to enable the hex mesh to be properly associated with or fit to the geometry in downstream operations in Coreform Flex.

Merged or virtual geometry information that is not associated with a hex mesh is not stored in the .cf file.

Upon import into Coreform Flex, sidesets, node sets, and groups are interpreted as sets, and blocks are interpreted as parts.

.cf file export is available in the File > Export command, as well as through the command line.

The overwrite option works the same as with ACIS file export.
