Inserting a cylinder into a GAMBIT file

  Dear Community,
  
  I have a model of a room, meshed in GAMBIT as a *.dbs-file, in binary format.
  
  Now I want to insert a cylinder. The nodes and the connectivity are available in 3 different formats to chose from (cylinder in msh format:, in nas Format, in f3grid format (from FLAC3D, Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua in 3 Dimensions) .
  
  Is this feasible ?
  
  We have no access to GAMBIT any longer. We do have the following modules from ANSYS : Fluent, Design Modeler, Space Claim, Workbench; all in the release 19.2.
  
  The cylinder nodes and connectivity should be preserved after insertion. Can a conflict between identical node or element numbers between the dbs-file and the file for the cylinder be avoided automatically ? Alternatively, I could add a fixed number to all node and element numbers of the cylinder.
  
  Your expertise is highly appreciated.
  
  Thank you so much .
  
  Sincerely

  DesignModeler should read the geometry in if you have the ACIS reader, but you'll lose the mesh. Once it's in you can (usually) edit as per normal geometry and/or transfer to SpaceClaim.
  
  If you have the mesh file, just use Fluent Meshing.
