I use Geany for Calculix Graphix and I set a custom file type up for syntax highlighting. This custom file type does not show syntax hightlighting (it shows these files as normal text file). In case it is relevant: I work with Xubuntu 22.04 and Geany 1.38.
Syntax of Calculix Graphix
On each line, a keyword with optional parameters and data (coordinates or entity names).
Comment starts with #.
Keyword and parameter are not case sensitive.
File extension can be: *.fbd or *.fbl.
My custom files
Geany documentation states that custom filetypes should be done in and not in the installation directory.
filetypes.CalculixGraphix.conf
I created this file from Abaqus file type (which works) and moved to ~/.config/geany/filedefs. Below an extract

My research
My references are Geany documentation and this post.
I tried to manually force the detection of filtetype with Document > Define filetype without success.
These post1 and post2 mention a lexer. This is something I don't understand so I do not know if I need a lexer: I did not find any for Abaqus file type.
Please let me know what is needed to have the syntax highlighting working. Thank you.
