Mesh part to geometry part
Mesh part to geometry part
(OP)
Hi I am trying to convert an orphan mesh part to a geometric part. I have tried in Abaqus but I don't think it is possible. I am using CUBIT 12.0 to remesh the mesh part in question but it also is unable to create a geometric part. Does anyone know of any software that is capable of doing this?

Could you please tell me what STL stands for? Thanks.

Below is the text file format for an ASCII formatted STL taken from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_%28file_format%29
facet normal ni nj nk
outer loop
vertex v1x v1y v1z
vertex v2x v2y v2z
vertex v3x v3y v3z'
endloop
endfacet
Basically define a triangle by the coordinates of the verticies. Repeat for each triangle. It looks like a poorly formatted FEA mesh.
I hope this helps.
