🐞 Description of the bug

Geometry Service modeler fails to process various CAD file formats (.scdoc, .scdocx) when converting to VTK, with different error patterns for each format. All formats result in service connection termination or null reference errors.

SCDOC Files: Geometry service connection terminated: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

SCDOCX Files: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'components'

📝 Steps to reproduce

Reproducible Steps

  1. Launch Geometry Service using launch_modeler_with_geometry_service(product_version="251")
  2. Create design using modeler.create_design("design")
  3. Attempt to insert CAD file using design.insert_file(file_path, ImportOptions(...))
  4. Error occurs during file insertion step
