    Hello Leila,

    I am not sure if this has been answered but the reply for Autocad (I don't
    know Mechanical) is simple: an export from Autocad into FLUKA
    combinatorial geometry is and will remain impossible due to conceptual
    incompatibilities. In simple words, Autocad-format is missing
    exact information on surfaces or boundaries between objects which is
    required for Monte Carlo transport calculations.

    However, the opposite is possible, to convert FLUKA geometry into Autocad
    format to display it with Autocad (see http://vincke.home.cern.ch/vincke/)

    Greetings
    Stefan
