Importing STL
Posted: 12 Dec 2021, 22:40
Hello all!
So while im sure my issue is trivial for many of you it is very much not for me. I have been tasked with simulating some magnetic fields and have zero experience with Elmer. I have been given a STP file that i need, and now I desperately need to know how exactly i import that to Elmer correctly. The file has multiple parts with different materials so i need to keep parts separated. I have tried to use FreeCAD so any solution based on that program is greatly apprechiated. Im also using a Linux based machine so dont really have access to windows based programs.
So in short: How do i import a multipart STP file to Elmer, assuming I have zero knowledge of Elmer or 3d in general. The more detailed the better. A bit of a weird situation and no easy thing to ask i know, but anything is greatly apprechiated.
Thanks, Alex
