Setting the import options (3/5)
n Explaination of STL/Nastran Import Option
n Group Mode:
n One group per file
n When importing multiple STL files, create the geometry groups for every STL files.
n One group for all files
n When importing multiple STL files, create one geometry group for all the files.
n One group per surface
n Create geometry groups for every sub-part of the STL file.
Setting the import options (4/5)
n Explaination of STL/Nastran Import Option
n Merge vertices across solids
n When importing multiple files, merge the vertices within the tolerance.
n This options is used when One group per file/One group for all files is selected.
n Merge vertices Tolerance.
n Merges the gaps below this value.

Setting the import options (5/5)
n Explaination of STL/Nastran Import Option
n Feature Angle
n Set the minimum angle between polygonal facets when displaying feature lines.
n Unit
n Scale the model’s size by unit.
n Scaling with the same unit (e.g., m to m ) does not change the size of the model.
n Scale
n Scale the model’s size with specified ratio.
n No scale if specified to 1.
Import the STL file (HeatSink_cf.stl).
