Hi everyone,
As part of a research project, I am given the STL data of a hollow tube with irregular geometry. I would need to take a thin slice of this tube at one given position, and export it to STL format again (to simulate kind of a curtain inside the tube).
I have been working exclusively with NX Siemens up until now, but it seems that this program is unable to create solid bodies from an STL file (only a facet body with which I cannot do anything).
Does anyone have advice on which (free) program I could use to get this task done?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Nick
