Workbench v.16 to v.15
 

Hi all,

I am trying to open my model from v.16 into v.15 with no success.

I have dragged a mesh/Finite element modeler from my original model and Write solver model in an Ansys Mechanical APDL file and got to save my model as an inp.

When reopening a FEM in ansys 15 and importing this (Inp. as ABAQUS?) I cannot see my elements nor nodes.

I have checked my inp. file and all data are in.

I tried to rename it as cdb. however this only showed the nodes with no elements or anything else.

How can I open my model from v.16 to v.15??

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Mousa

I doubt that there is backward compatibility.

Hi Antanas,

I am just asking for the Geometry DM to be imported. Not the over model/Setup/Solution DM data.

I saw other threads that allowed v.13 and v.12.1.

I assume I am just missing something from what I am doing as I was able to see my nodes.

I think the only way is to export to neutral format, like Parasolid, and then import. But features tree will be lost.
