We want to add via script say a cdb file to a standalone mechanical (Mechanical 2024 R2)?

    Below is an example on how it can be done via mechanical scripting in a new Mechanical standalone session (with the Start a New Mechanical Project option to get started).

    mimp=Model.GeometryImportGroup.AddModelImport()
mimp.ModelImportSourceFilePath='D:\\DATA\\filecdb.cdb'
mimp.Import()

    And if needed in/for 2D analysis add the below before importing (mimp.Import()):

    mimp.AnalysisTypeDimensionSetting=AnalysisTypeDimensionEnum.TwoD

    To control/define the imported cdb file units before importing (say for NMM consistent units):

    mimp.UnitSystemTypeForImport=ModelImportUnitSystemType.UnitSystemConsistentNMM
