I'm trying to convert a mesh or STL file, to a solidpart, IGES or Parasolid, any solid, i have the file, let me know if you could help me, and i'll contact you
The problem with this is the amount of facets of the mesh. What software are you using it?
My company makes the InStep Studio 3D application for exactly this kind of scenario. I would be more than happy to guide you through its use or perform a conversion for you.
There are free applications available such as FreeCAD... but don't expect too much out of it. SW does allow some STL->Solid conversion, but expect a size limit of around 30k facets.
More than happy to help...

Check out mates,
Sure actually this have around 144K facesm, i think that is the problem, if someone could help me to convert into Solid, my mail is: santoobecerra@gmail.com

PD: I manufacture injection plastic molds here in Colombia, if you have any business related with that, i could export from here to any place, thank you very much for your help
I just uploaded a VERY quick & dirty model here:
This would need some more work and manual corrections, but it hopefully shows what our software can do...
If you want, give it a try (instepstudio3d.com), there is a free 10 day, fully functional trial. Reach out if you need that extended or need help with not-so-obvious tricks and approach to this.
oh... and let me know if you want me to delete that model from the public space...
It's ok sir, thank you very much, if i need more about this kind of convertions i'll contact you :), do you have whatsapp?
Sorry, no, don't do WhatsApp... but feel free to ping me here.
Note: I also uploaded two additional models that use a more direct, facet based approach. One of the three should work...?
Hm... yes. That can happen. This is due to the surfaces becoming overlapping or some other errors. Some importers will just skip those. The Application is still/continuously being worked on, so that part needs some further consideration. The facet based exports should definitely work better though as the underlying data is less complicated.
The STL file is already a solid. Importing it into SOLIDWORKS or a similar tool to "convert" it to another 3D format is pretty much useless. You'll still have a model with thousands of facets.
If the facets are not wanted the solution is remodeling the part. Here's a screenshot of a partial rebuild:
