Concerning VRML export of deformed shape

Hi everyone, ABAQUS users!!!

I'm trying to work with a deformed geometry using a standard CAD software, so I exported it to VRML format. However I noted some problems (reply about them, please!!!):

1) For reasons that I don't know, VRML geometry has DUPLICATED TRIANGLES, so it's very difficult to work with it. Why is this happening?

2) Also, original dimensions of the model have been altered. In my particular case, it was like ABAQUS applied a reduction factor of about 400 to the model. Why?

3) Finally, do you know any way to convert VRML into STL format? I can't use a software as Roshaz (evaluation version), because my model is very big.

Thanks all in advance.
