How to read 3D mesh STL file

Hello Everyone,

I created a 3D model in Solidworks and improt this model into Netgen mesh generator to creat a 3D volume mesh.

And now I am trying to import and read that 3D volum mesh into MATLAB. I want to extract the vertices and elements of the mesh.

Please help me to read the .stl file and then extract the vertices and elements.

Thanks

Can you explain more? what have you tried and what doesn't work?

you can try to import stl mesh to matlab by

fv = stlread ( 'femur.stl' );

I believe you should use importGeometry from Partial Differential Equation Toolbox.

Some examples are available here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2020a/pde/ug/stl-file-import.html
