I have been repeatedly trying to upload a CAD model in STL and CATIA formats, but I keep encountering an error that prevents the upload from completing. Despite following the standard procedures, the issue persists.
Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? Let me know if additional information, such as error details or file size, is required.
Hi @rmarquez_marti, thanks for posting on the Forum and welcome to the SimScale Community
It’s a bit tricky to pinpoint what the problem is exactly since we don’t have access to your CAD model. However, keep in mind that STL files and faceted geometry are usually not great for most simulation types as the mesh will fit onto surfaces.
Even then, you should be able to import the files, but if the STL file contains a very high number of faces it’s import will become slow and might lead to errors/crashes. What is the number of faces in your file?
