creating solid geometry from stl files

Dung the most handsome man

Hello everyone,

I'm newbie in Inspire.

When i imported the stl file into inspire, i couldn't analysis. After reading an answer of a similar question in our forum, i figured it out that i have to create solid geom from stl file.
But the question is how do i know if the solid model can be created automatically from stl file, or i have to do it on my own.

Thanks.

Hello,

 

In the help you can read that STL is mesh based and therefore no geometry format.

I do not know that you can automatically convert it to geometry in Inspire.

 

Best Regards,

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.
I read this post: 

https://community.altair.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=5396447a1b2bd0908017dc61ec4bcb5d

Mr. Rahul said that stl should be used as a template / guide to create solid geometry within Inspire. If the model looks easy to rebuild it manually, it's ok, but if the stl model is complex, what should i do to create the solid geometry?
Thanks.
