Hello,

I am working to import the bottom topography from an area of the ocean into Fluent so that I can use it in a model. I have been able to manipulate data in arcGIS and export to STL files to import to SpaceClaim, but when I import the files they are flat faceted bodies, and do not have the proper elevation.

I am wondering if I should be using a certain coordinate system in GIS when exporting the files, or if there's some sort of changes I can make to adjust the facets after importing?

I'd appreciate any advice on how to complete this task, as I am pretty stuck.

Thanks,
Breanna
