DWG 2 SW 2 ACIS

HelloI have a high density survey of a mine heading and have decimated the file to make it more usable. I am trying to get the file into ACIS so that I may analyse the model using Fluent, a computational fluid dynamics program. I've been assured that I can do this in solidworks and have consulted the help files which tells me basically to:


File ----> Save as -----> Select .sat from file type -----> press save


however there doesn't appear to be the option to select .sat. Could this be because a full installation was not carried whenn solidworks 2005 was intially installed? Or is there some other reason. If you fancy a look at the decimated .dwg please have a look please bear in mind I've had to decimate the file to 1% of the original survey so that I can upload it, ideally i'd like to use aa 10% decimated file. Any help to get the file to ACIS would be great.


Cheers,


Sean
