Learn how to convert STL to SIMULIA with CAD Exchanger
STL (STereoLithography) is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software. This file format is supported by many other software packages; it is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D printing and computer-aided manufacturing. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture or other common CAD model attributes. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations. Binary files are more common, since they are more compact.
SIMULIA is a CAE suite built on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform by Dassault Systèmes and used to create realistic simulations.
SIMULIA tools deliver various types of computational simulations (electromagnetic, computer fluid dynamic, multibody dynamic analysis, structural analysis) and capabilities to increase their efficiency (standard processes automation, logical and physical models integration, collaboration and sharing).
Need to work with CAD files in numerous formats? No worries.
From STL to SIMULIA, CAD Exchanger gets you covered.
A CAD file is an output of a CAD software, containing key information about the designed object: its geometry and topology representation, 3D model hierarchy, metadata, and visual attributes depending on the format of the file.
