Format

Use Auto to choose the reader from the file extension, or choose the actual source format explicitly.

Location

Geometry workspace → Import → Format

Initial value: Auto.

Use Auto to choose the reader from the file extension, or choose the actual source format explicitly. Changing this label does not convert the contents of the file.

Using the value

Edit the Import feature, choose Build All Geometry, then inspect the imported dimensions, domains and any repair diagnostics before meshing.

Troubleshooting

Check file availability, actual format and source scale first. Repair may change geometry; inspect small features and part boundaries rather than accepting a completed import alone.
