Reply To: ANSYS 18.2

Are you asking how to get the Catia V6 software to use?  You have to buy that from Dassault Systemes.

Or do you already have Catia and are asking how to import Catia data into ANSYS Student 18.2?
In that case, the Student license only includes the ability to import Parasolid files into DesignModeler or STEP or IGES directly into the Geometry row in Workbench. You will have to export one of those from Catia.

If you were on a Commercial ANSYS license, then a CAD interface license to Catia can be purchased that will give an associative link between the Catia file and the Mechanical Workbench environment, including passing parameters.
