You are not running/ calling the function properly.

1. Go to the link: https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/4512-surf2stl. Down load the function into your pc.
2. Go to the folder, where you have downloaded/ copied the function surf2stl.
3. DEfine your mesh, Check the example code I have given.
4. Note that when you run/ call the function, the function should be in your present working directory.

I am able to use the surf2stl file and functionalities to convert "surf" (mesh) into .stl

However, for "fsurf" (function surf, mesh), the functionalities does not seem to work.

Does anyone have experience on how to resolve this issue?

(For the typical X,Y,Z surf, the surf2stl works fine. However, for X,Y,Z defined as functions, hence fsurf, the surf2stl no longer works: "Wrote 0 facets"). Thank you for your help.
