Ansys icepak imported PCB is missing holes/board cutouts

      Hello i have an issue where I don't have holes in my PCB in icepak, these holes are important because components and screws go through these holes and when they arent present the components simply intersect the PCB. I imported an ODB++ file into HFSS 3D Layout and from there to Icepak. Icepak doesn't allow me to alter the geometry and drill holes because it is an imported object. 

      The first image is from hfss 3d layout and the marked fields are some of the areas where holes should be. The second image is in icepak and it shows that these holes don't exist and its just a flat filled volume. Thank you for your help

      Hi, 

      You can create fluid blocks in icepak which will act as the holes. Hope this helps. 

      Best,
