Convert from ASCII CAD (stp sat jgs) to foam
 
Hi, I am really new to OpanFoam and I am struggling to find any information on how to convert a mesh from ASCII CAD to foam.
I have my mesh as a ASCII CAD file in three different formats (.stp, .sat, .jgs) and need to convert it to foam in order to run my simulation on it.
I also found a link on mesh conversion in openfoam:
http://www.openfoam.org/features/mesh-conversion.php

however I did not manage to run those converters on any of my files. Will appreciate any help.
Thanx in advance
