We use SmartPlant3D here.....and we get alot of the Vendors 3D models via .SAT. We want to use these Vendro SAT files within SP3D, however, the file sizes, and level of coplexity (holes, internals, nuts, bolts,etc) casue huge problems when importing into SP3D.
We are thinking of using Soildworks to "dumb down", optimize, etc....these files to only basic external external surfaces....then recreating the SAT file of this "smaller", less complicated object.
1. Import .SAT file into Solidworks
2. Optimize the model (reduce complexity, internals, holes, etc)
3. Export a SAT file
4. Import the SAT file into SP3D
Does SOildworks have any tools that will allow us to optimize these models?
Can you post a part for someone to re-export to see if it would work for you or do you already have SW? If you already have SW you can change the options for SAT export yourself.
