Dear Friends,  
is it possible to export geometry in ascii sat format? I hope that some people, not only my need it? For example in such programs like ABQUS I use only sat files to import geometry.

Hu, SAT is not supported, but STEP, IGES and (from the next release) x\_t aka Parasolid formats are supported. Almost every system that supports SAT will support at least one of these formats.

Yes you are true. STEP format it is enough. Best regards
