<p data-start=”149″ data-end=”157″>Hello,<\/p><p data-start=”159″ data-end=”488″>I am trying to connect a SolidWorks geometry to Ansys Electronics Desktop but I am confused about some of the steps. I have searched for available resources, but I have not found many that specifically address Electronics Desktop. If there is any manual, documentation, or guidance available, it would be significantly helpful.<\/p><p data-start=”490″ data-end=”524″>Here is what I have done so far:<\/p><ul data-start=”525″ data-end=”751″><li data-start=”525″ data-end=”584″><p data-start=”527″ data-end=”584″>Exported the geometry from SolidWorks in <code data-start=”568″ data-end=”574″>.IGS<\/code> format.<\/p><\/li>\n

<li data-start=”585″ data-end=”633″><p data-start=”587″ data-end=”633″>Imported the <code data-start=”600″ data-end=”606″>.IGS<\/code> geometry into Workbench.<\/p><\/li>\n

<li data-start=”634″ data-end=”751″><p data-start=”636″ data-end=”751″>Dragged another geometry block under <em data-start=”673″ data-end=”692″>Component Systems<\/em> and connected it to the imported geometry using <em data-start=”741″ data-end=”748″>Share<\/em>.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<p data-start=”753″ data-end=”987″>At this point, I am not sure what the next step should be. My goal is to link the SolidWorks geometry with Ansys Electronics Desktop so that any changes made in the SolidWorks file are automatically reflected in Electronics Desktop.<\/p><p data-start=”989″ data-end=”1015″>Thank you for your help in advance!<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-439793","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-AnsysMaxwellelectronics-1","topic-tag-ansys-applications","topic-tag-ansys-and-solidworks","topic-tag-ansys-maxwell","topic-tag-import-solid"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["275024"],"_bbp_topic_id":["439793"],"_bbp_subscription":["560098","82626"],"_bbp_author_ip":["137.207.14.85"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["439885"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["439885"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-08-21 16:08:12"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["560098","82626"],"_btv_view_count":["1218"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"fatim119uwindsor-ca"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/439793","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\/439793\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
