Exporting CAD geometry to a SAT v7 file for use with Autodesk SimStudio Tools

To export CAD solid geometry to a SAT v7 (*.sat) file for use with Autodesk SimStudio Tools, the study must contain one or more imported CAD models in a supported native geometry format. CAD geometry formats that can be exported to a SAT v7 file include:

• CATIA V5 (R6-R24)
• Parasolid up to V27
• Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0
• SolidWorks® 2012

1. Open a study that contains at least one imported CAD model.
2. Click (Application menu > Export > Model).
3. Navigate to the location where you want the export file to be saved.
4. From the Save as type drop-down list, select SAT (*.sat) file format.
5. In the File name text box, specify a name for the export file.
6. Click Save. If more than one CAD model exists in the study, a numerical suffix will be added to the specified file name, and each CAD model will be saved to a separate file.
   Note: Assemblies contain more than one CAD body but are treated as a single model. If you select a CAD body that is a component of an assembly, the entire assembly will be exported to a single SAT file.
   A message is displayed to indicate that the exported file has been saved successfully.

   Note: If no supported CAD model is found in the study, an error message is displayed.

You can open the exported file in Autodesk SimStudio Tools to modify the geometry.
