Hello!
I have an stl. file that I've created using a software called nTopology which allowed me to create a volume lattice inside my CAD body. I exported this file as an stl. in the hopes of being able to import the stl. into Solidworks and convert the part into a solid body for FEA analysis however I keep being greeted with a "facet normal problem" that I do not know how to fix.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get past this issue?
I would share my file but it is too large!
Thank you in advance.
.. there are a few free programs which can edit/repair and auto flip the normals.
- meshlabs
- meshmixer
- blender
- wings
..and if you have Rhino3D (or download the demo).. it has repair as well.
..or.. some 3D print software has repair

- ideaMaker
