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
