Importing Solidworks Assembly
Hello,
I am attempting a dynamic analysis on a small rope bridge I modeled in Solidworks. I would like to analyze the whole assembly in ANSYS but am having problems transferring the file. When I imported the assembly into ANSYS I used all the default settings (no defeaturing, merge coincident keypts, create solid if applicable, delete small areas). The result I get is an unassembled stack of parts, and the solid parts seem to be saved as areas not volumes (I can replot keypoints, lines, and areas, but no volumes). I have tried to create a volume by selecting areas, and this works well. However, when I try to move the volume into its proper position I get the following error: "Keypoint (#) is attached to line (#), which is attached to an entity that cannot be moved. Command VGEN unable to be executed with the move option and this set of entities." I have tried saving the parts individually as iges files and opening them in ANSYS but once I have two parts imported the program either shuts down or I get the same error message as before. Is there some way to import a Solidworks assembly into ANSYS without getting these problems, or is there something I am doing wrong? I am new to this program so any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! |

hi ! Try to export your solidworks assembly into parasolid file, this can be imported in design modeller and then to ansys.
hope it works. Pankaj. |
