- Click Import geometry.
- Choose a STEP file and open it. Inspect the imported model and its dimensions before continuing.
Inputs and units
| Input or value | Meaning | Units |
|---|---|---|
| CAD file | STEP geometry selected in the file dialog. | .step or .stp |
| Dimensions | Check the displayed extent against the expected physical size. | Current display length units |
Limitations
- Simulation domains must be watertight closed solids. Open or incomplete geometry may fail during import or meshing.
