Hi Caen,
Converting a .stl -> .step for use of FEA analysis is a really perverse idea ;)
low order geometry -> higher order geometry -> lower order geometry is just
increasing the pain / complexity rather than reducing it.
Also; in CAD a few nurbs patches can easily take up thousands of triangles to
be described accurately!
What you should look into is re-meshing your STL file into something that your
solver can grok.
There are pre-processors ( patran ) that will do this for you.
