How to load stl files into sage math
I want to work upon FEM in sage math, so i just want to import stl files and mesh it. Any help on how to start.

Maybe "NumPy-stl" is the right package to use: https://pypi.org/project/numpy-stl/, documentation here: https://numpy-stl.readthedocs.io/en/l.... I don't know exactly how anaconda works, but try to make sure that anaconda is activated and run pip install numpy-stl. Test it by running Sage and seeing if
from stl import mesh
works.
(The package https://python-stl.readthedocs.io/en/... has not been updated recently — last in 2014. So probably not the right choice.)

Welcome to Ask Sage! Thank you for your question!
Please describe your Sage installation. Did you install it yourself, or is it system-wide? I'm asking because if you installed it yourself, you should be able to install a package like Python STL (https://python-stl.readthedocs.io/en/...) and use that in Sage.
Hi John Thanks for the comment. I installed Sage myself in Linux on anaconda package manager. How to install the stl package on Python? Is there any documentation on how I can slice and mesh the object and display the mesh.
