Hi,
I Am AbhiRam i have a problem in opening the TOYOTA yars ROOF TOP CRASH ANALYSIS file from ANSYS
website it when i download and try to open it in fusion 360 it does not support .K file so the file which i downladed is in .k file how can i convert that .k file format to .STEP format and if i tried to open that in
ls pre post it is showing some errors and how to solve it you can see the errors in the screenshort which i uploaded so can you please help me with it because its my btech project on ansys which i need to work on but it wont open at all

Why do you want to convert .k file to .step? Keyword format is the input format that the ls-dyna solver understands. If you want to run this model using LS-DYNA, then the input has to be in LS-DYNA keyword format. If you are getting error loading the file in LS-PrePost then post those errors here.

In the ls-run screenshot, you shared a picture showing error termination but have you checked the messag file to see the error message? One thing I noticed in the ls-run setup is that the input file path at the top is different from the path shown in the preview section. Please also note that input file path has spaces which can cause issues in running the solver command. In the "expression" field add input file in quotes ("i=$INPUT") to resolve the space issue.

you can cannot convert the file into step format.    THe best thing I've discovered that we can do is import the k file into LSPP and export a stl file.     This is a faceted body that is useful if you want to recreate the baseline geometry of a k file that osmeone else has made.   I've done that a few times by importing the exported stl file into a CAD program like solidworks and then recreate the geometry from the outline of the faceted body.   Discovery also has a reverse engineering tool that can turn faceted body directly into solid bodies if that helps. 

Maybe give that a try if all you need is to recreate the geometry.
