I want to incorporate compound parabolic trough collector in my geometry, but I am unable to find how to import my own designed geometry from design software like CATIA, SolidWorks etc. I am highly tensed due to this problem and I will be thankful if anyone helps me.

As you can see in the image below, the software doesn't allow you to import your designed geometry from Catia or SolidWorks. The original formats are not supported, which means you will have to import the scripting files.
