How to represent the 3-D geometry of an object by faces and vertices for Hexahedral Mesh

Hello,

Is there a function like extendedObjectMesh but for Hexahedral Mesh? My face matrix is Nx4 matrix and not Nx3, is there a way to export this as an OBJ. file, so it can be imported later in EM Simulation Software like HFSS or CST?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

MATLAB provides functions for working with meshes, such as 'stlwrite' for exporting STL files. You can convert your hexahedral mesh to a format like STL and then use it in EM simulation software like HFSS or CST.

Refer to the following File Exchange links to know about functions you can use to export a mesh defined by vertices and faces to an OBJ file:

I hope it helps!
