[SOLVED] Converting the STL mesh to VTK mesh

[MA]

Hello,

I am trying to convert the following stl file to VTK , file attached: https://gofile.io/?c=0VSgmD

Using the following code in Soft Robotics Plugin example:

port Sofa

import os
path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))+'/mesh/'

def createScene(rootNode):

        rootNode.createObject('VisualStyle', displayFlags='showForceFields showBehaviorModels')

        
        rootNode.createObject('RequiredPlugin', pluginName='CGALPlugin')
        rootNode.createObject('RequiredPlugin', pluginName='SofaExporter')
        rootNode.createObject('RequiredPlugin', pluginName='SoftRobots')
        
        
        rootNode.findData('gravity').value='-9810 0 0';
        
        node = rootNode.createChild('node')
        node.createObject('MeshSTLLoader', name='loader', filename=path+'Rope.stl')
        
        node.createObject('MeshGenerationFromPolyhedron', name='gen',inputPoints='@mesh.position', inputTriangles='@mesh.triangles', drawTetras='1')
        
        node.createObject('Mesh', position='@gen.outputPoints', tetrahedra='@gen.outputTetras')
        node.createObject('VTKExporter', filename='bunny', edges='0', tetras='1', exportAtBegin='1')
        node.createObject('MeshGenerationFromPolyhedron',
                                inputPoints='@mesh.position',
                                inputTriangles='@mesh.triangles',
                                drawTetras='1',
                                facetSize='0.35',
                                facetApproximation='0.1',
                                cellRatio='2',
                                cellSize='0.5' )

In the console,it seems there isnothing created

[WARNING] [RealGUI] Global Bounding Box seems very small; Your viewer settings (based on the bbox) are likely invalid, switching to default value of [-1,-1,-1,1,1,1].This is caused by using component which does not implement properly the updateBBox function.You can remove this warning by manually forcing a value in the parameter bbox="minX minY minZ maxX maxY maxZ" in your root node

I solved it,in the following page:https://project.inria.fr/softrobot/documentation/volumetric-mesh-generation-using-cgal-plugin/

In line 6 of the code

node.createObject(‘VTKExporter’, filename=‘bunny’, edges=‘0’, tetras=‘1’, exportAtBegin=‘1’)

It missing path+

node.createObject(‘VTKExporter’, filename=path+‘bunny’, edges=‘0’, tetras=‘1’, exportAtBegin=‘1’)
