Solidworks - ANSYS - currentansys import - Before importing a SolidWorks part into ANSYS, while still in SolidWorks you must export the part in the IGES file format. If you have not done that yet. 1.) Open ANSYS: on cmu cluster machines its under 'math & stats': 2.) From the file menu select 'Import' - 'IGES' and select the following options: 3.) Locate your IGS file using the browse button and click ok: when you find the file it should look something like this: 4.) Your screen wll now look like this notice the axis directions: - currentansys import.
Import Solidworks Into Ansys
Hello everybody: I have to import a solid piece from Solidworks to ANSYS to study it using FEA. I have saved this piece as igs file (With good options: 'IGES solid/surface entities' is Trimmed surface - type 144). When I try to import this file to ANSYS, it does'nt work and I get the following message: Because keypoint merging has not been performed, automatic volume creation is suppressed. Anybody could help me to solve this problem? Thank you in advance, Shaban RE: Import Solidworks part to ANSYS using IGS (Bioengineer). Hi, 'Some lines showed up in one model, and some lines didn't show up.
Especially, for complicated curve surface, there might be problems for IGES file to generate solid.' It is a matter of spline order (or degree, as you prefer calling it). Ansys is stuck to low-order splines while nowadays modelers have virtually no limits.
When the import of a spline curve fails, you have to break it down in the CAD system near the locations where the curvature changes brutally, thus generating two connected splines of lower order. That being said, I think the original problem was due to not setting the 'merge coincident keypoints' flag in the initial 'IGES import' dialog box. Should restart the import to correct it (can not fix it afterwards, in this case). Regards RE: Import Solidworks part to ANSYS using IGS (Bioengineer). Hi again, I have also tried to import this piece as parasolid file but it didn't work and I got this message: 'File file.anf does not exist. The /INPUT command is ignored.' Files, I also didn't succeed.
On the other hand, I have also set the flag 'merge coincident keypoints' on and off and it still doesn't work. I hope finding somebody who can help me to solve this problem because I can do nothing without solving this problem.
Thank you in advance, Chaabain RE: Import Solidworks part to ANSYS using IGS.
Hi all, I'm new to these forums and really hoping someone can help me out. I'm trying to import a model created in solidworks to APDL, and I've tried literally everything I can think of. Here's the two main questions I'm looking for answers to:. Is there a way to use the workbench mesher and export as a.db to open in classic?. Is there a way to reflect volumes about planes other than the Cartesian planes in classic?

I can go into a lot greater detail about the specific issues I'm having, but if there's a simple answer to either of those questions it should be the solution I'm looking for. In brief I need to import 1/8 of a geometry which is symmetric about the Cartesian planes, mesh it, and then mirror to ensure a symmetric mesh.

Importing via IGES and parasolid fails for some reason. If I cut the 1/8 in half, to get 1/16 of my model, it imports fine via parasolid, but then I need to mirror about a plane incident with the Cartesian y-axis and in between the x and z and can't figure that out. I also tried using workbench, and found that I can open the solidworks file directly, and mesh through WB with no problems.
But the code for my analysis is already done in APDL, and the guy who's doing that wants us to provide him with a.db file of the meshed component so he can analyze them in classic using his existing code. Anyway, I'm quite stuck and any help would be greatly appreciated!!
To import a surface to ANSYS in the Design Modeler, you will first need to create just the surface using a CAD program, such as Solidworks. Note that these instructions also apply to importing any part or assembly from Solidworks to ANSYS; you just need to skip the step in Solidworks on adding Surfaces. Method I In Solidworks:. Right-click on the Features toolbar and add Surfaces if it is not already shown.
Choose the type of surface you would like to create (extruded, revolved etc.). Create your desired surface. Carte engleza copii pdf to excel. Save the surface as a.STP file In ANSYS:. Create your project. Right-click Geometry. Select Import Geometry.
Locate your file and select it. Go into Design Modeler and Generate Now you should be able to see your surface in Design Modeler. Method II After you have created the geometry in Solidworks and saved it: In ANSYS. Create your project. Open Design Modeler. Go to FileAttach Active CAD Geometry.
Click Generate Now you can edit your Geometry in Solidworks and refresh it in Design Modeler after you have changed it. To refresh the geometry in Design Modeler:. In the Details window, click RefreshUse Geometry Parameter Values. Click Generate Now your Geometry in Design Modeler will reflect the changes you made in Solidworks. Method III In Solidworks you can connect the geometry to Workbench:. Go to ToolsANSYS ANSYS Workbench will then open with the Solidworks file attached:. Drag the Geometry onto the Geometry of your project.
You can then update the geometry from your CAD file directly Now you should be able to update your geometry in Solidworks and refresh it in ANSYS.
