Exporting to DFX from method

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I have written an application in comsol which generates a number of different geometries to test. Aside from simulating them in comsol, I would like to evaluate these geometries in a different software which can import files with a DFX format.

To do this I am trying to export the geometries individually from the application using

model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").exportFinal("D:\\export folder\\file name.dfx");

which is also the code that is recorded when exporting using the "record code" feature.

However, while exporting manually does not result in any problems, running the method results in the following error:

Failed to create file -File: D:\export folder\file name.dfx"

If anyone could point me towards a solution to this error that would be much appreciated. I suppose it may have something to do with the permissions of the application/method.
