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).
