So, I think I should continue face reduction and wrapping to merge many of the faces and get a lighter part. I assume it will work as a normal solid part from now on, except that there are thousands of small surfaces. The size increased to ~20 MB again as soliWorks part but I could open it in ANSYS design modeler (took more than one hour to recognize all small faces) and then I could meshed it in ANSYS Mechanical.

Anyway, I saved it as a *.stl again, imported into SolidWorks and converted it as solid body as *.sldprt. You can use SpaceClaim to import solidworks file. I don't know why but I was expecting the convert button is active in SpaceClaim so I can directly convert it to Solid body but it was not. Combination of wrapping, face reduction and shrinking finally reduced to size to about 3 MB as stl file. The tools within the Facet ribbon are quite handy. I am still working on it but so far I am sure SpaceClaim CAN do the work. I was going to use ANSYS finally and the embedded SpaceClaim was quite useful.
Initially SolidWorks was useless, and also FreeCAD didn't help, it crashed.
A small object of about 1" bounding box, more than 90 MB and 2 mil faces saved as stl coming from a scanner.
