Abaqus geometry from imported .stl

Hello!

I'd like to figure out how to import an .stl file and convert that to geometry (for example, to immediately export as .sat or .stp). It seems like I can do this with virtual topology, but I can't quite get that to do it (not sure how to use it). I'm also interested in any other way Abaqus might let me turn an .stl into a part file.

Thanks,
Michael
