there is no option to make a .prt file in AutoCAD.  Not sure what else to tell you?

 

looking at the 2014 help, it says these cad formats are supported:

 

You can create a new design study by directly opening a geometry or CAD file. This capability supports the following CAD and geometry file types:

  • Autodesk Inventor (.iam and .ipt)
  • Autodesk Shape Manager (.smt)
  • Parasolid (.x_t)
  • Acis (.sat) (Version 7 and earlier.) *See Note below.
  • Pro/Engineer assembly and part files (.asm and .prt) (The Granite kernel is used to directly open these files.)
  • SolidWorks (.sldasm, .sldprt)
  • UGNX (.prt)
  • CAD Doctor (.sdy)


So, either use Inventor or one of the other listed applications.

In AutoCAD run the ACISOUT command (will create a *.sat) file.

 

Not sure how this relate to the thread title?

thank you for the answer... so the best solution is to use invertor and invert my draw file to part file for using CFD simualtion?

Where did you see that as a possible solution?
If you already have the work done - simple ACISOUT to save it in a *.sat file format that CFD will open.

 

Yes, you should probably be using Autodesk Inventor (not invertor?) from the start, but since you already have the work done simply save it as *.sat.
