Can you use Blender model in ANSYS?

  Hey guys, I'm a high schooler and I'm new to ANSYS, I'm trying to important 3d models from BLENDER so I can simulate the fluid dynamics on it. I export the 3d model to .STL, but when I create the mesh there's an error. I used the mesh fixing tool and there were no holes or anything. The units are the same for both BLENDER and ANSYS, does anyone know a solution? or am I forced to create a model through ANSYS or FREECAD. Please and Thank you!

  Hi anhn2248
  Sometimes exporting as .stl or .obj directly into meshing will cause errors as the faceted geometry may have intersections. You can import them into Ansys SpaceClaim or Discovery and then fix the issues like self-intersections and then export that to the mesh.
