As soon as I try to generate the imported part in the Design Modeler, this error message appears: &quot;Unable to initialize geometry interface&quot; -&gt; &quot;Geometry interface not found&quot; -&gt; &quot;Attach failed&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>Now I also tried installing the CADNexus AddOn from the Ansys Customer Portal (Version 3.40.0, where I am able to select my version of Catia V5-6R2015). The erroe message I receive in this case when trying to generate the imported part is: &quot;The required license is unavailable&quot; -&gt; &quot;Attach failed&quot;. <\/p>\n<p>Reading the CadNexus Installation Guide, I don&#039;t need to enter a CARPI Key, as I am an ANSYS user.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone know how to resolve these two issues somehow? It is very important to me to be able to import the parameters from my CATIA part into the Workbench environment&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Thanks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-168689","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-catiav5","topic-tag-design-modeler-catia-1","topic-tag-geometryinterface-1","topic-tag-interface","topic-tag-workbench"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["6161"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["49224"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["168689"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["62","49224"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["212426"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["212426"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-04-21 11:15:30"]},"test":"nils-schwagerusunibw-de"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/168689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/168689\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
