You can easily create STL files with the “Catia SaveAs..” native dialog. The only drawback is that Catia by default creates STL in plain text format.

Delete Empty Part Bodies A utility CATScript macro for CatiaV5 to clean up a all empty PartBodies in a CATPart.
Desciption: Source-Code:
Usage: Assuming that one needs to clean e.g. a CATAllPart from all unnecessary geometry. After the clean operation (by selecting geometry visually on the screen rather than in the object tree) a lot of empty PartBodies might remain.
