How can I convert files from RDM6 to Solidworks?

[DoktorBrrr]

For a research project we have made a model in RDM6-Element Finis. We would like to convert that file to .SLDPRT (Solid Works Part file), because we want to print that model using a 3D printer. Unfortunately I have not found any useful information on the internet on this matter. From RDM6-Element Finis, the projects can be exported (saved) to the following file formats: HPGL, HPGL2, POSTSCRIPT, WMF, EMF. What solutions are there available to convert this file? What would you recommend?
Thank you in advance!

I would post this in the Solidworks forum as you might have a better chance of getting a response there. However, that being said, this has the whiff of being part of some sort of student project so please thread softly if it is since you could be in violation of the 'T & C' of E-Tips.

RDM6 outputs an IGES file I thought? Most 3D printing is done with STL file format. Any capable 3D software package should be able to open IGES and convert to STL.

Have you read faq731-376 to make the best use of these Forums?

I believe the file types you mentioned are all "pictures".
Not model files, which are used for analysis, etc.

I couldn't find any manuals in English to check.

If those are the only export options you are out of luck..
In general the exchange of 3d models between software is done with neutral formats like STEP(stp) and IGES(igs) (less "common" would be sat,jt,obj,xt and others)..
All the file types you posted are "graphical" for exporting pretty pictures..

Are you looking only for print formats? Look for "Export".
