Hi

I would recommend to use Workbench mechanical, much easier to use, and we have lots of courses in this website.

 

You can import it there and model there.

 

All the best

PS: for the apdl import issue this and see if there are any volumes listed (assuming it is a solid volume part):

allsel,all

vlist,all

 

If nothing is listed then the import does not work
