Hello!

 

I'm trying to import a superellipsoid surface created on SpaceClaim into APDL, however, I keep getting the same errors. Does someone know how to solve it?

These are the errors shown when I try to import:

 

 

 

Despite the errors, the surface seems normal:

 

I uploaded the IGES surface as well.

Ansys staff can not download images, but I would recommend you to not use igs format to read in APDL instead, read the geometry in SpaceClaim and later on you can take the geometry to APDL as shown in system C below or if you want to mesh it in Mechanical and take the mesh directly to APDL as system D.

Thanks Aniket for your response! Could you explain step by step how to import the file from system A to system B please?n

Dear Array, nI am unable to connect between Mechanical Model ( with Mechanical APDL (C). I want only the geometry to be imported to the MAPDL then I do the meshing and set up the model for solving in MAPDL. nI have attached my workbench window for your reference. nP.S: I designed my geometry in DesignModeler in 2020 R2 student version. I am working in a project to simulate the behavior of a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator and this simulation can only be done in MAPDL and I think importing the geometry is easier than designing it in MAPDL. If you have any recommendation regarding my project please let me knowArray I am running out of time and I am still struggling in importing just the geometry which is the first step.n
