Hi,

I make a 2D geometry in designmoduler, and would like to link it to static structure to do a simulation. However, the ansys mechanical pop out error message and cannot load the geometry, what should I do?

Do you want to perform the Axisymmetric simulation in Ansys? If yes, please make sure that the body in the design modeler should be in the XY plane and the Z vertex should be zero.

For an Axisymmetric simulation, the axis of rotation must be the Y axis. Also, there can only be geometry on the +X side of the X axis. Slice the geometry on the YZ plane and delete the half of the geometry on the -X side of the X axis.
