slicers take as an input an STL file and as an output a gcode file. The STL describes the model to print. The gcode are commands to the printer.
So the problem you had was that you were giving cura a gcode file. Instead give it an STL file. I mean cura can read gcode files and display them but that's it. you can't slice something that is already sliced.

We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.
