Importing CAD (Geometry)

Import a CAD (geometry) model into CADFEKO.

Note:
  • Best results are obtained during importing if the CADFEKO model unit is in “m”.
  • If a large model is imported and the source file unit is different to the CADFEKO model unit, the import process may be slow.

  2. Click the File and Format tab.
