I will model various bridge typs using mostly SHELL181 elements. However, I want an efficient way of creating and adjusting geometries into the ANSYS MECHANICAL ENTERPRISE. My intial idea was to creat geometries in Spaceclaim, export as .anf file and then using \/input, gemotry.anf. This doesn&acute;t work unfortunally.<\/p>\n<p>In previoud example file i got they wrote sometinhg like this, however I noticed there can be some problems when using .igs files and that it is better to use .anf or .inp files:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>!
