Ansys R3 to R2

vansrv8 · December 6, 2019, 07:01

Good morning,

I have been sent a Workbench file that was created using Ansys R3, in order to carry out a Fluent CFD simulation. However, my university only has licenses for Ansys R2 and it won't let me open the file in an older version.

I downloaded the Student R3 version to open the file and to see if I could save out the Spaceclaim geometry and carry out the remeshing in R2, however, it won't let me save the Spaceclaim file as it contains a greater number of faces than the Student version allows.

Is there any way that I can convert the file from R3 to R2, or would anyone have sufficient licensing privileges to open the Workbench file for me and send me the geometry/mesh files?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Many thanks,
Matt

Have you tried exporting the geometry in a non-proprietary file format that can be read by anything? Like step or iges or whatever?

Hi, yes I have, but SpaceClaim has disabled all saving for bodies with over 50 faces.
