Import step file error


I’m trying to import a STEP file with PrePoMax, but I’m getting an error as shown in the attached image. I can import STL files but can’t generate a mesh. It was working fine until now, but after my PC froze once and I had to reboot, it suddenly started doing this. What could be the cause?

PrePoMax v.2.0.7

Thank you in advance for your assistance.


Again, when I try to load a STEP file, I encounter this error.

Can you share this STEP file ?

I will share all the calculation files with you.


"I can import STL files, but I encounter an error like this when trying to create a mesh.

Thank you for your assistance.

The shared files include only this geometry (which can be easily meshed):

Not the problematic one shown in your screenshots.

I receive the same error regardless of which model I import, so the model I sent also encounters an error during the STEP file import. Additionally, I redownloaded PrePoMax, but it did not resolve the issue.

Try importing from another directory where there are no access restrictions: Problems importing .step and .stp files

I was able to import. It seems that the permissions changed somehow. I understand now.
Thank you for your assistance.

After reassigning permissions to the folder, the STEP file now opens without any issues.
