This is a very easy way to define a mesh (and groups of nodes or elements) when the geometry of the model is too difficult to be modelled with the tools available in Metafor. text/html 2016-03-30T13:23:04+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://metafor.ltas.ulg.ac.be/dokuwiki/doc/user/geometry/import/stp2e?rev=1459344184&do=diff Reading STEP files [Advanced] It is possible to import STEP files generated by external CAD software such as Catia or FreeCAD. The function used to convert STEP files to python commands that are understandable by Metafor is defined in the toolbox.stp2py module.

The module toolbox.samcef defines functions that convert a .fdb file (fdb stands for “formatted database
