proein command error while importing geometry from creo parametric into pyansys

[bahadir14]

I got an error using proein command. I shared the code section and error message.
Glad to hear solutions from you guys

Have a nice day

Hi @bahadir14
The 'proein' command is for importing native ProE (Creo Parametric) files of type prt or asm. Not for importing IGES files (type igs).

Exactly this. For IGES files use: https://mapdl.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/mapdl_commands/_autosummary/ansys.mapdl.core.Mapdl.igesin.html
