I am using Solidworks 2022-2023 and have created a basic part, saved as a SLDPRT.  When I use workbench and Geometry -> Import Geometry I get a green check mark, but when I double-click to open the geometry I get "Unable to import the specified geometry into SpaceClaim. Input file version not supported." 

I tried the solidworks "save as Parasolid" V30 fix I found in these posts, but that is an unsatisfying solution for software that costs this much.  

Even though I am a professor at a engineering school that pays a lot of money for this software, they now tell me that I am not entitled to support beyond posting questions on this forum.  Also unsatisfying.

Please use latest version 2022R2 for SpaceClaim. Please check the latest version of solid works and parasolid supported by SpaceClaim in the help manual. 

Windows (ansys.com)

Go to File - SpaceClaim options - File options - Workbench  and use 'Always use SpaceCLaim's reader when possible'.

On 2022/R1: I tried

Go to File - SpaceClaim options - File options - Workbench  and use 'Always use SpaceCLaim's reader when possible'.

Then I tried to import the file, but it did not solve the problem.

I am working on getting 2022/R2 and will report back when I have tried that version.

Update: 2022/R2 works fine, so apparently the bug was fixed in R2, but existed in R1.
