I'm trying the Ansys student structural course problem but I'm unable to open SpaceClaim file because they are saved in the latest version of Spaceclaim, so can one please convert these file into the neutral formats, like STEP or IGS, that would be really helpful.

CAD.rar

That's 32 files. I don't have a script to automatically do all 32, but I will do the first one you need if you tell me which one that is.
What version of ANSYS are you using?

[AkashVyas]

Sir I'm using 2019.
Is there any other way. I can change the format because I really wanted to practice these problems, because I have to start my own project from March End.

Yes, you could install the latest version of ANSYS, open each file and export it in a neutral file. Then you can uninstall that and install 2019.

Hello AkashVyas , Since you installed ANSYS STUDENT 2021, just follow the below procedure , After you open the scdoc just right click and open in design modeller, and from there you can try exporting in neutral formats,

Comment down your response for further help

Hi Array , Can you able to save the *scdoc if yes, first save the docuemnt in an secure folder,
2) open workbench and open geomentry system.
3)right click and choose new Designmodeler
4) the Deign modeler will open, from file------> import external CAD file------> choose the scdoc file and update
confirm wheather you are able to recreate above steps.
Cheers,
Ram

After you open a file in SpaceClaim, use File, Save As and under the File name is the Save as type line which is set to SpaceClaim Files (*.scdoc). Simply pull down on that and select Parasolid text as shown in the image below.

Change the Version of Parasolid from the newest to an older version such as V19.

It's not working, I guess it's because I'm using the Ansys student version.

yeah I can do that but there is no option to save CAD in another format, that is the issue.

No, that is not the reason. The screen snapshot I showed is from the student version.
Please show a screen snapshot of SpaceClaim, File Save As dialog box that you are seeing.

ANSYS decided to remove the ability to export any file types from SpaceClaim in the recent releases. Read this discussion:

The only workaround, which will only work until 1/31/2022, is to download and install ANSYS Student 2020 R2.
