Import ansys to solidworks

Simulation Generality

Hello

 

I have a thorny problem, I have a stainless steel tube with a very complex laser cut. This tube when it is put in place is expensed. We use Ansys to calculate its deformation and strength.

 

My problem is to be able to recover the Ansys file of the deformed part in Solidworks, it doesn't matter if it's fialary or surface...

 

Is it possible and how do you handle it?

 

Thank you

Hello

 

It is worth seeing if Ansys can generate a neutral file (IGES, STEP or other) from the resultant of the deformation.

Which ansys solution do you use?

Associativity with CAD software

The Workbench range communicates with most CAD software on the market and allows real-time associativity with each of them. Geometry changes are updated directly from the Workbench interface. Compatible CAD software is:

  • in native format with Catia V4 and V5, Solid Edge, NX-Unigraphics, Pro/Engineer (including Wildfire), SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor and Mechanical Desktop,
  • and also through Acis (.sat) and Parasolid (._xt) gateways integrated with all other products.

Hello

 

According to this link, you have to re-register the result under a new template to export it in IGES.

It is then possible to open an IGES in SolidWorks:
