Hi All,

I am not sure why my geometry doesnt open in ANSYS mechanical.

What are the errors you are seeing? Have you been able to open your part in SpaceClaim/Design Modeler?

Did you right click in WB and try updating the Model Cell, before you open Mechanical?

Sandeep,

i checked the geomtery with "Check Geometry" and it said its ok.

ANSYS experts,

SpaceClaim opens and I can see the geometry. I saved a SpaceClaim document, created a new Workbench file with a new Static Structural and Imported that SpaceClaim file into the Geometry cell.  When I Refreshed the system I got errors:

• System.Exception: Unable to attach to geometry file E:ansysdatastudentcommunitySam.FaresLapped geometry 1.02.scdoc. Unable to attach geometry.

I went back to SpaceClaim and used the Repair tab to check for various defects. Only Split Edges showed something, which I repaired, but that did not help the geometry to transfer to Mechanical.

Sam,

Open SpaceClaim, Save As STEP file.  Open a new Static Structural analysis and Import the STEP file into the Geometry Cell. That successfully Attached to the Model cell.

You can also open the Geometry in SpaceClaim.

Peter,

You are efficient and a life-saver

As always ,THANK you for your assistance!

i will try it.
