Opening Legacy Models in CADFEKO

CADFEKO models created before version 2022.1 are converted to a new format when opening in CADFEKO 2023.1.

When opening a legacy model in CADFEKO, the original model is stored in a backup folder at:
%FEKO_USER_HOME%/converted_models
When geometry fails to convert during legacy conversion, the geometry part is converted to a primitive. If a part consisting of boolean operators fails to convert to the new format, a group is created to show the creation hierarchy.


Figure 1. An example of where a geometry part failed to convert to the new format. Left: legacy CADFEKO; Right: An excluded group is created that contains the failed boolean operator in CADFEKO.
Tip: When a model fails to convert during legacy conversion, save the model in a newer legacy version1.
