Example A-2: Simple Filled 3D Part

In this example, a complete 3D part with a shape of 50×75×100 voxels is created with a base material of 1 and a voxel size of 0.02 units in all directions. The parameter log_debug is set to True for demonstration purposes.

The part is then exported to an Abaqus™ input file in 3D mode with C3D8R elements. The Non-Empty elements (which happens to be the whole model), are requested to be exported.

The code can be found in the examples folder of the main repository. It is also included below:
