I made a 2d basic design in Discovery for a Steady State Thermal analysis but I get this problem when I open the model:

The analysis type is setted to 2D.

I also couldn't import the geometry.

I would appreciate any guidance to solve this issue.

.AGDB file extension is for the older DesignModeler product. 

In general, you would not use DesignModeler, but rather transfer from Discovery directly into a Steady State thermal, or structural etc.

Thanks Gary.

I have the same problem with another project, as it can be seen in the image below:

This time the extension is .dsco.

I will appreciate if you can help me with this recurrent problem.

Hi Manu

The error does not give any useful information.

Are you able to open file NewDesign.4.dsco via File > Open in Discovery?

I have been able to correct the error using this method in Discovery:

I don't understand it completely but seems to be that enabling this 3D mode button the original 2d sketch (a rectangle in this case) is turned into a surface that the Mechanical Ansys could analize it.
If you have any further explanation, it would be welcome.

Thanks

[Gary_S]

A sketch by itself is not a entity that can be attached or analyzed.

A sketch can be converted to Line Bodies, or if a closed form sketch, a 2D surface.

These entities can be attached into Ansys Mechanical.

Thanks for the explanation!
