Other Formats

Internally, CAE Fidesys represents geometry as either ACIS solid model geometry or mesh-based geometry. CAE Fidesys can import ACIS geometry in the native "sat" file format. CAE Fidesys can also import STEP and IGES files and internally converts them into ACIS solid model geometry. For compatibility with Sandia legacy applications, CAE Fidesys can import FASTQ input decks to create ACIS geometry, as well. If you have geometry that has been created in another format, such as in SolidWorks, you will need to translate that geometry into something that CAE Fidesys can read. Many solid modeling packages have an Export ACIS .sat command, which is probably the easiest way of translating your model. If you do not have that option, there are some other possibilities.

Try a different file format, such as STEP or IGES.
As a last resort, contact the CAE Fidesys team. They might have other options for importing your file.
