I think I see a trend here after Michaels walk-thru of Iges/Step ;)P

Hi Luca, SAT is another NURBS-based format very similar to STEP and IGES formats.

See here: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=2047.2 for a recent discussion and description of the STEP and IGES formats, everything there applies similarly to SAT as well.

SAT is the native file format of the ACIS geometry kernel, which is used in quite a few solid modeling programs.

In MoI v2 there is a new feature to export models to the SAT format, you can do that with the current v2 beta release.

Sometimes file format conversion can be a finicky thing, it is best to test MoI's output with that program instead of just assuming that it will convert smoothly. But hopefully it will.

Thanks all fo the reply. I mainly use v1 with alternative UI, so I miss it.
I have read the thread above, but I didn't realize we were talking about the same thing...sorry (the extension .SAT its not mentioned).
Today I try to import some moi object into SmartPlant 3D... will see!

Ciao
Luca

I can confirm that the import of SAT file from moi to Smartplant 3D is almost flawless. Perfect job as usual Michael!
