Hi Dennis, I doubt there will be a native Paraview/VTK reader voor SAT. If you want a geometric representation of your CAD model in Paraview, for example to create an overlay of your simulation data over the geometry, I think your best bet is to create an STL file. I have had success with this when overlaying finite element and digital image correlation data over a CAD model in Paraview.
I am not aware of a free opensource CAD package that can read SAT. FreeCAD (based on OpenCascade) cannot. OpenCascade does provide a paid for extension that can read SAT files. Also, are you aware of cadexchanger (http://cadexchanger.com)? Ofcourse the standard CAD systems like SolidWorks, CATIA, SolidEdge etc. can do the conversion too (you might need a separate license for this). Marco
