Data Structure

When an STL file is translated into a MAC file and this is read into PDMS/Outfitting, all geometric parts are converted to primitives which form a single EQUIPMENT or VOLUME (VOLM) per STL file. ImPLANT-STL uses the name from the STL file as the EQUIPMENT (or VOLM) name.

If the filename contains characters not in your current Windows code page, and if you are using a Unicode-enabled PDMS/Outfitting (12.1.SP1 and above) you can use the -unicode option to transfer the name more accurately.
