I orginally thought to create an stl file of the whole brain. However, I could not figure out how to determine the different features of the brain within SpaceClaim so I can assign named selections or material properties. My next thought process was to create stl files of different segmentations of the morphological features needed for my analysis. I ran into issues on determining how to align those different components together within SpaceClaim. Any ideas on how to achieve this?&nbsp; I do not have access to any Simpleware products. I am using the open source 3D-Slicer software for generating the segmentations and stl files. Below I have attached two example stl files of what I would like to align. <img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Ex. of brain stl 1\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/23-10-2023-1698089077-brain_seg1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Ex. brain stl 2\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/23-10-2023-1698089182-brain_seg2.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-312927","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-stl-to-ansys-1","topic-tag-3-d-model","topic-tag-material-properties","topic-tag-mesh","topic-tag-spaceclaim"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["267147","3452"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.218.215"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["416"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["312927"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_engagement":["3452","267147"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["313200"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["313200"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-10-25 05:05:51"]},"test":"jmm45656uga-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/312927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/312927\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
