        Parameters
        ----------
        regenerate
            A Boolean specifying if all the features in assembly as well as in all the parts in the 
            model should be regenerated after the conversion. The default value is True. 
        convertReversedSketches
            A Boolean specifying whether sketches in analytic rigid parts should be converted even 
            if they cause the orientation of surfaces defined on them to be flipped. The default 
            value is True. 

        Returns
        -------
            A list of strings describing any warnings or errors encountered during the conversion
