My part files are modeled in 2020, and I don&#8217;t want to update them to 2021. When I try to import this geometry into Spaceclaim (I&#8217;m using Ansys Speos), the importer appears to use SWX2021 to convert them to the latest version (in memory only). For one of my files, the resulting rebuilt produces an error, so I don&#8217;t have full faith in the resulting geometry.<\/p>\n<p>I want to use SWX2020 for both modeling and to do the import. The only way I can find to do this is to remove SWX2021 from my machine. Does anyone know about a different way?<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<br \/>Ryan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-234389","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["250348","68381","263961"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.192.164.14"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2303"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["234389"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_engagement":["68381","250348","263961"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["278610"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["278610"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-04-09 16:42:04"]},"test":"ryanergodriven-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/234389","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\/234389\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
