File Formats

aRTist supports several file formats for data input and output. The three most important ones are the STL format for loading part geometries, the ARTSIT format for saving and restoring the program status, and the TIFF format for outputting the simulation results.

All file formats supported by the FileOpen… dialog are also prepared for drag & drop. Accordingly, it is possible to drag a supported data file onto the aRTist program icon or window for opening.
