^{Originally posted by **tryzang** March 29, 2024} I want to import an IGES file and then show it, but I get an error Here's my python code ```python 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 CRITICAL - pymapdl_global - logging - handle_exception - Uncaught exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\桌面\3DD\main.py", line 6, in mapdl.igesin("D:/1.IGS") File "C:\Users\UserX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\ansys\mapdl\core\mapdl_grpc.py", line 3388, in igesin return super().igesin(fname=filename, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\UserX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\ansys\mapdl\core\_commands\aux15_.py", line 57, in igesin return self.run(f"IGESIN,{fname},{ext}", **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\UserX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\ansys\mapdl\core\mapdl.py", line 3291, in run text = self._run(command, verbose=verbose, mute=mute) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\UserX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\ansys\mapdl\core\mapdl_grpc.py", line 938, in _run response = self._send_command(cmd, mute=mute) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\UserX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\ansys\mapdl\core\errors.py", line 168, in wrapper raise MapdlExitedError("MAPDL server connection terminated") from None 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?

@tryzang Have you found a way to solve this? I also have issues with the geometry imported to PyMAPDL or the geometry constructed in MAPDL
