STL file size invalid

mhgardner

Hi,

I've created the model geometry in Google Sketchup and exported it as an .stl, but when I try to import the geometry in GenCase I get the following error message: "Invalid file size".
Has anybody else run into this problem or know what could be causing this error?

Thanks,

Mike

Ended up fixing the problem by importing the stl files generated by SketchUp into FreeCAD and exporting again as stl.

Yes mhgardner. That is probably because SkecthUp saves the stl in text but DualSPHysics loads binary STL.
Other way to solve it may be to load your .STL in Blender and save it to STL.
