It does not appear this capability to import MESH section types was ever implemented in the External Model import. 

Supported Source File Commands
The application imports the following source file data/commands as line body/beam cross sections:

CDB: The SECTION/REAL attribute defined with the element in the EBLOCK section.

BEAM, LINK and PIPE Types are supported.

The MESH Subtype is not supported.
