      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).

      1. mimp=Model.GeometryImportGroup.AddModelImport()
      2. mimp.ModelImportSourceFilePath='D:\\DATA\\filecdb.cdb'
      3. mimp.Import()
      4.  

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

      1. mimp.AnalysisTypeDimensionSetting=AnalysisTypeDimensionEnum.TwoD
      2.  

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

      mimp.UnitSystemTypeForImport=ModelImportUnitSystemType.UnitSystemConsistentNMM
