Remarks

An external geometry references a geometry definition stored in an external CAD file. The file format must be specified in linkToFile. If the file path is given as a relative path, it is resolved relative to the CPACS document location.

The imported file may contain one or more shapes, which are combined into a single grouped geometry. The optional transformation is applied to the imported geometry after loading.
