Good Morning,nI am using ANSYS 16.2 for backward compatibility with other tools. However, I recentely figured out that the blocking tab wihtin the file menu disappeared. This means that for example I cannot anymore import .tin file and then import blk file later on. I attach an image that shows the missing blocking tab in ANSYS 16.2 which is still available for instance in ANSYS 16.2.nnI also tried to eanble the option within Settings> Product but it did not work either. nDo you have any advice on that?nThank younLucan

As ANSYS Staff, we can not download attachments. Please upload images using upload image functionality. n16.2 is not supported. You may want to install it again and check. nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

Dear Keyur,nHere is the image. I hope this explains a bit better. nAlso, I want to clarify that I am not the only one within my University that has experienced the same issue with ANSYS ICEM 16.2. What I do not understand is why the option suddenly disappeared. It was working fine until one month ago. nI also opened the project file with a text editor and under 'array set file_name'> blocking the option is empty ({}). But if I manually edit it I can load blk file. However, I am still unable to edit the blocks once loaded.nThank you very much for your assistance.nLucan

Can you please reinstall 16.2. Or use 18.2. n16.2 is not supported further. nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

I will surely try to reinstall. FOr backward comaptibility with our own tools 16.2 is also needed. Are rpl files generated with ANSYS 16.2 compatible with ANSYS 18.2? Does the same apply to project files?nSIncerely,nLucan

You can try. But no backward compatibility is guaranteed. n
