Hello Everyone,

I'm having a problem in importing a mesh done in Spaceclaim and opening it in Workbench Mechanical. The mesh is successfully generated in Spaceclaim. I get the following error:

 

I have tried different meshes finer as well as coarse, changing the elements as well. I have also tried the solution mentioned in a post:

/forum/forums/topic/assembly-failed-error-assembling-pmdb-and-acmo-files-value-doesnt-fall-within-expected-range/

But still the problem persists 

Thanks in advance.

There were a lot of recommendations in the post you linked that should be valid for your project too. Have to tried all of these:

1. Disconnect system linkages from all other systems that are upstream to the Model cell you want to open, except if your SpaceClaim session is from a standalone geometry system. Keep that one linked to the downstream analysis system "Geometry" or "Model" cell.
2. Clear the mesh in SpaceClaim and generate.
3. "Reset" downstream Model cell.
4. Delete all model cell linakges, "Reset" the Model cell, and connect the Geometry system again.
5. Find .mechbd in project. Copy to outside of project, and rename to .mechdat. Import into a new, empty project, and specify the scdoc file from the old project on the Geometry cell.

Make sure "Save Mesh Data in Separate File" is off since this can sometimes cause a problem in assembled models and mesh-based geometry inputs:
