7. Geometry

The following geometry enhancements were made at Release 2025 R2:

  • Importing ECAD Geometry into Mechanical.

    • When you open Mechanical independently, the application now supports the ability to import ECAD (electronic computer-aided design) geometries in order to perform an ECAD analysis. Supported file types include *.def, *.tgz, and *.cvg.

    • ECAD Import now supports the Linux platform.

  • Body Merge now supports Virtual Topology under the following conditions:

    • You can add a Body Merge object if your model includes a Virtual Topology.

    • Body merge fails if you try to merge bodies that share faces, edges, or vertices that are part of a Virtual Topology.

    • You cannot add a Virtual Topology object if your model includes a Body Merge object.
