  Hi everybody
  
  Until a few hours ago I could attach any solidworks file, but I can not get an error, try to open a new file and create another solid one but the same error keeps coming up, please how could I solve it?

  Check the version compatibility. Please see this document. I am assuming you are trying to bring in the part using the SolidWorks reader?
  
  If this is correct.
  
  1. Open the part in solidworks and make sure parts are not suppressed.
  
  2. Try running the CAD Configuration Manager using Administrative permissions:
  
  Start > All Programs > ANSYS [version] > Utilities > CAD Configuration Manager
  
  Regards,
  Sandeep

  It's better to File > Save As > Parasolid from SolidWorks and in DesignModeler, use File > Import External Geometry File.
