I want to import an IGES file and then show it, but I get an error
Here's my python code

from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl
mapdl = launch_mapdl(loglevel="ERROR")

# clear
mapdl.finish()
mapdl.clear()

mapdl.prep7()
mapdl.igesin("D:/1", "IGS")

mapdl.geometry.areas.plot()

Here's the error message

C:\Users\UserX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python.exe D:\桌面\3DD\main.py

ansys.mapdl.core.errors.MapdlExitedError: MAPDL server connection terminated

进程已结束，退出代码为 1

Also, I have this question, if I want to import a file in STL format and do finite element analysis, is there any way?
Thank you for your reply~~

Hi @tryzang

Can you share the IGS file?
