STL-files

Hello everyone
I want to simulate the model of weir. Because of dimension of my model is large and for reduce time of simulation, I should simulate in half of model.
For this, I plotted model in symmetry mode, i.e. half of model is in negative Y- axis, but I want to save in STL-format, the bellow error is appear:
The solid does not lie in the positive XYZ octant.
While in this address: Flow3D/ version 10.0.1/examples/STL
The weir-1 file is plotted in negative Y-axis and saves in STL-format.
But I don't know how do I solve this problem?
Have everyone opinion (suggest)?

Hi,
what is your CAD software?

Hello
my software is AutoCAd. this problem relate to type of program?

Use same coordinate in both. eq; make STL on CAD in coordinate 0,0,0 and then make the simulation room start on 0,0,0.

hope this work for you
