Not able to open Solidworks files anymore.

      Hi, I've been using Ansys for the past year and a half and this is a first.
      When I first started using ansys I found this article https://www.senpaicorner.com/post/how-to-import-solidworks-part-assembly-files-into-ansys and I was able to import files from Solidworks directly to ansys and open them with Spaceclaim.
      I updated my Solidworks version to 2024, while I still have the Ansys 2022, and from this point onwards I can't open any Solidworks file.
      I went to the Product and Configuration manager and tried reconfiguring Solidworks, but that didn't work. The weird thing is that the first time I did it, it was through this screen, which according to the article is for the older versions, but now I can't seem to find it.
      Any help?

      I doubt 2022Rx can deal with Solidworks 2024, which may be part of the problem. Updating to 2024R2 may resolve this, but that will depend on which version of Solidworks is currently supported.
