The Mesh Import Application Programming Interface (API) enables you to build a customized executable that reads a 3-dimensional mesh from a 3rd-party mesh file into CFX-Pre and to extend the number of file formats that CFX-Pre can understand and read beyond those supplied as part of the standard installation.

The communication between the executable and CFX-Pre is via a communications channel that is controlled by use of routines in the API provided.

For details on using the Volume Mesh Import API, see User Import.
