The Output field displays the location the exported file is saved to. The path can be changed by clicking the icon to the right of the field to display the Select File window. Navigate to the required location and then name the file in the File name field.
Click OK to export the file or Cancel to stop the export and close the Section Export window.
The export process generates a .stp file (similar to the MEI export process) and a .xml file which contains bevel information from the GENSEC elements which contain welds. The example displays a generated .xml file containing bevel information.
