I have an .stl model (completely closed) and I want a volume model (.step model). Can I do this in Solidworks? If yes, then how?

Unfortunately I cannot attach the stl file.
Hi Pulkit,
it would be helpful for us to know what it is you are wanting to achieve. What is the intended use of the STEP file. Why is the STL file not suitable? Simply converting from one to the other may not fix your problem.
I am doing machining simulations. For this matter, I have an stl model of the tool but I want to do my machining simulations with a solid tool to have better results. For his purpose I need/want to convert my stl model into step.
Hi Pulkit,
How complex is the part? As the STL will be tessellated, it may give you a better result if you re-model the part as a SW part then save that as a STEP.

Attach your original *.stl file here.
Can you attach the original stl file here?
Why are you trying to use stl?
