When I save/export my project from my CAD program, the solids forming the assembly are saved in 3 separate .sab/.sat files. I have no influence or control over how (or why) this split is performed.
If I upload these 3 files into a single SimScale project, it sees them as 3 different geometries, and there does not seem to be any way to combine them into a single simulation.
The [CAD Preparation & Upload | Simulation Setup | SimScale](https://documentation for uploading assemblies) suggests zipping them and identifying the filetype when uploading, there are no complaints, but SimScale only sees/displays the contents of the first .sab/.sat file within the .zip file.
What am I doing wrong?
In case this was a limitation associated with .sab/.sat files, I converted them into parasolid files, zipped the 3 together and uploaded that.
Once again, no complaints from uploading the .zip file (once I had identified the contents as .x_t), but once the upload completes, again only the first .x_t file within the zip file is seen/displayed in the project?
A log of zipping the files:
C:\Users\ms20b\Documents\SpaceClaim\Geometry>zip parts.zip *.x_t
adding: part1bodies.x_t (164 bytes security) (deflated 64%)
adding: part2bodies.x_t (164 bytes security) (deflated 71%)
adding: part3bodies.x_t (164 bytes security) (deflated 67%)
Checking they all made it:
C:\Users\ms20b\Documents\SpaceClaim\Geometry>unzip -l parts.zip
Archive: parts.zip

I don’t know what else to try?
