Error: Failed to import assembly from SpaceClaim. No bodies to transfer

      Hi all,


       


      I'm using spaceclaim to create an enclosure for my geometry. However, when trying to open it in Ansys mesher I get the error "PlugIn Error: Failed to import assembly from SpaceClaim. No bodies to transfer." 

      Can someone help me out on this please?

      is it 2d?

      if 2d, make sure that your surface bodies are in xy plane. 

      also go to windows start > cad configuration manager and configure spaceclaim 

      make sure that you have admin permissions.

      I think the issue is the enclosure. It gives me a warning "an error occurred while creating the enclosure (protruding bodies). Try increasing the cushion value)". I believe it is because of the symmetry plane. It is only half a model so I would like to have only half of an enclosure. Do you know how I can achieve this?

      Build the whole model (and/or enclosure). Then slice the model on the symmetry plane and delete anything you don't need. If you've got the enclosure & symmetry plane in the same location the maths may be getting confused.

      Hello,

      Create enclosure by ANSYS defaults (whatever the cushion value is, mostly 25%).

      Then you delete the portion of the enclosure which you don't want by creating planes/split body tool.

      Then using the pull command, set your required enclosure dimensions.

      Hope this helps you.

      Hello,

      Make sure the 2-d model in x-y plane,which could solve the problem

      Try this: In Space Claim, Right click the body in the structure tree then Activate for physics.
