[vtkusers] About the Solid CAD File Output.

[David Netherway]

Hello Yan,

I am not sure what you are refering to here. The stl format typically
encodes a triangular surface mesh that can be used to make solid models
using rapid prototyping technology. If you mean a solid mesh for finite
element analysis then that is a different problem.
