Hi Pierre-Frederic - You can do that using post-processing views. First
save your deformation field as a vector post-processing view. Then
use Plugin(Warp) to deform the view, and finally save the view into a
STL file by clicking on the view number in the GUI and choosing "Save
as->STL triangulation".
You can also do all this in a script (see attached file "deform.geo").
Hope this helps,
Christophe
