Hi, I am new, my boss wants me to create a geometry and open it in ANSA to do his mesh. I have scripted my geometry using FreeCAD Python API and in result, I have succeeded to export it in both STL and STEP files. But I have issues with reading them in ANSA. It would be great to receive your help.

STL file:
When exporting my geometry into STL file, some basic mesh is auto-generated. Questions: 1. Is it possible to "un-mesh" it in ANSA? 2. STL files only stores meshed objects?

STEP file:
While solid parts are created in FreeCAD, red lines appear when I read them on ANSA. I created a simple cylinder in FreeCAD, and red lines are defined in ANSA... Usually, where do you go to solve such problems? I can modify the exported step file using a script but I don't know what to modify.
