I made a CAD file (Assembly File) in <strong>Solidworks<\/strong>. I saved this file as &quot;<strong>IGS<\/strong>&quot; format. Then, I tried to import this file to Workbench (ANSYS 18). I opened this file in <strong>Design Modeler<\/strong>, and saved this file again as &quot;<strong>agdb<\/strong>&quot; format. I closed Workbench.<\/p>\n<p>Then, I opened Workbench again. I imported the &quot;Design Modeler&quot; file that was saved as &quot;agdb&quot; format. It seems the &quot;Geometry&quot; is imported properly. But, when I open the &quot;Model (Mechanical)&quot; window, I am getting an error. It is saying &quot;<strong>The shared license is not available to perform the Geometry Attach operation<\/strong>&quot;. May I know how to resolve this problem? Is it due to &quot;File Format&quot;? Any advice please? I truly appreciate your time in this matter.
