Lily,
Please check your stl is good enough. I copy here.
STL File Verification
So how do I know if my .stl files are good ones? Well, see for yourself. If your CAD package has the option, select 'Show STL Info Before File Saving' or 'Preview' when making your .stl files. That way you can get a glimpse of the output quality before saving the file. Better still, use a separate .stl file viewer to verify, to be absolutely sure. You can download VisCAM Solid Viewer, a very capable .stl viewer, for free here: http://www.marcam.de/Eng/Download/default.htm
Hope can help you and keep me progress.

Sam,
I also tried export to IGES, SAT and VDA. All are failed with very
small 3kb file size. The custom can only provide us *.stl file
from a kind of art design software. I am thinking maybe the .stl file
need to repaired, however I don't know how from Pro/E. Our
Abaqus/CAE is v6.4.1. Do you know any other software is able to do
this kind of file transfer?
Thank
Lily
Post by KL LeeLily,
The file size is only 3kb which is unreasonably small. Did you try
the export function in Pro/E and export into IGES or SAT or VDA
format? The format of Pro/E should be *.prt or *.asm. Why your
original format is .stl? I can import IGES into cae in the past.What
is your version of cae????

Sam,
The original file is *.stl 3D model which is the surface
by triangle. I can read *.stl into Pro/E, however I can not made
geometry check. So when I save the file as .igs of .sat file,
the file size decrease from 2.6Mb to only 3kb. Abaqus
give the message of "Can not read the file, the file maybe
corrupted or not right formatted."
Do you have any idea of how to solve it?
Thank you very much
Lily

How did it fail? I can do that before using IGS or SAT file. Your
problem is 3D or 2D??? Shell or solid problem.

Hi, Everyone,
I had an .stl file from design. I tried to transfer it to Abaqus
readable geometry such as .igs or .stp file from our Pro/E,
however
Post by KL LeeI
Post by KL Leedon't know why it failed. Does anyone know any other software to
do
Post by KL Leethe geometry format transfer from stl to .igs? It is better this
software is easy to download from web.
Thank you very much
