      Yes it is but there is a known issue caused by changes in the way SolidWorks registers itself. You will a message about not detecting Solidworks in the output log from the CAD Configuration Manager. There is a fix using the attached files 1. Exit SolidWorks. Exit Ansys. 2. In C:Program FilesAnsys Incv211commonfilesCADbinwinx64. Rename the existing Ans.CadInt.CADConfigurationUtility.exe to Ans.CadInt.CADConfigurationUtility.exe.orig 3. Copy the attached Ans.CadInt.CADConfigurationUtility.exe to this location. 4. Copy the attached ComponentSystem.211.dll to this location. 5. Re-run CAD Configuration Manager. Unconfigure the interfaces, then reconfigure. This will be corrected for 2021R2.
