Hello,

I am trying to open this step file in Ansys SpaceClaim 2023R2 and 2024R1 but it keeps getting stuck at 60%.

I can open in using different software that also makes use of the Spatial import libraries.

Can you help me out and tell me what is causing the issue?

Step file

Thanks in advance

Dimitri

Hello Dimitri,

What is the native CAD software where this is created? Can you try using different file format?

Also what version of step are you using? Is the file stored on local system or shared location?

Regards,

Hi Charudatta,

My apologies for the inconvenience but we had a small break due to a bank holliday.

The step file was created with SolidWorks 2020.

This is the header data of the step file:

ISO-10303-21;
HEADER;
FILE_DESCRIPTION (( 'STEP AP203' ),
    '1' );
FILE_NAME ('YB-016-00182-0E.STEP',
    '2024-04-10T12:36:16',
    ( '' ),
    ( '' ),
    'SwSTEP 2.0',
    'SolidWorks 2020',
    '' );
FILE_SCHEMA (( 'CONFIG_CONTROL_DESIGN' ));
ENDSEC;

 

There is no other file type available for the customer.

As mentioned if I load in my other available tools and export a parasolid it will load in Spaceclaim as parasolid.

The customer does not have this possibility and only gets the step file form his customer.

Loading the file form a network drive or local drive does not make a difference.

I can reproduce on my system as well. It might be that the file will load if you leave it there for a long time but this is not desirable.

I have uploaded the file in a transfer to Devendra Badgujar because he is handling another issue with corrupt data for me.

So if you need the file, please ask your colleague for it.

Regards

Dimitri
