<p>Hi,<\/p><p>I’m trying to import some geometry files into APDL<\/strong>, but it seems impossible to import complex geometries properly. I’ve tried formats like IGES<\/strong>, SAT<\/strong>, Parasolid<\/strong>, etc., but none of them seem to work well with complex curved geometries. They work for simpler models, but not for more intricate ones.<\/p><p>Can anyone confirm if it’s really difficult or even impossible to import complex geometries into APDL? Someone mentioned that it’s possible to create surface geometries in SpaceClaim<\/strong>, import them into APDL, and then convert them into volumes inside APDL.<\/p><p>If none of that works, I’ll have to create the geometry directly in APDL, but it’s much easier to use something like SpaceClaim for geometry creation—if only the import would work properly.<\/p><p>How should I proceed?<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-387855","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-python-ironpython-1","topic-tag-ansys","topic-tag-ansys-apdl","topic-tag-ansys-mechanical-apdl","topic-tag-apdl","topic-tag-cad-import","topic-tag-geometry-import","topic-tag-input-file","topic-tag-input-files"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
