Objective:

How to export the shelled part as a single CAD file

Procedure:

1. First, create a hollow part by shelling a body using a Shell block or other methods (nTop Learn Course). 2. Use the Mesh from Implicit Body block to convert your shelled body into a mesh. 3. Next, use the Split Mesh block to separate the mesh into inner and outer layers. 4. Use the Quadrangulate Mesh block to convert the separated triangular meshes into quad meshes. 5. Use the CAD Body from Quad Mesh block to transform the quad mesh layers into solid CAD bodies. 6. Combine the inner and outer CAD bodies into a single part with the Merge CAD Bodies block. 7. Export your completed part using the Export Part block.
