It is typically possible to export any 3D model (preview) as common JPEG or PNG picture for previewing purposes, for example sat to jpg conversion (export of 3D ACIS models) is doable.
Such export will create just a static view of the model, so any 3D data are lost during this export. Also, sometimes textures from models can be exported and saved as separate files, but this is not the case for .sat models.
