Importing from Solidworks

(OP)
We have V11.0 of MSC/Nastran here, and I am attempting to import a spring from Solidworks into NASTRAN for the purposes of testing the frequency responses of the spring.  Does anyone know the proper procedure for carrying out this type of test?  Thanks in advance for any replies.

RE: Importing from Solidworks

Is it FEMAP?
Use parasolid file format (*.x_t). Then generate from the geometry the mesh!
