Creating Mesh using specific XYZ Coordinates

Long story short- If I have an Excel file with numerous XYZ coordinates, how can I create a mesh on Autodesk Inventor 2021 to hit those specific XYZ coordinates?
To explain the task in more detail, I have to build a weaving fiber and then apply a mesh pattern that hits the specific XYZ coordinate points I have on an Excel file.
So far I have the external shape of the weaving fiber (shown below):
From this weaving fiber, I need to build a mesh pattern that divides the weaving fiber above into subvolumes- specifically, a mesh that forms a consistent grid pattern across 5 different cross-sections (the two ends and the 3 orange cross-sections in the diagram below).
As mentioned, the location of the grid points created by the mesh must match exactly with the XYZ coordinates given by my partner.
Please let me know how this can be achieved on Autodesk Inventor 2021.
I am attaching the Excel file of the coordinates- please note that the excel file divides each cross-section into about 200 segments and then provides the XYZ coordinates of the corners following the 1-2-3-4 convention for each segment.
