Try to exported as a IGS, had worked for me
better do it through solidworks ..............as solidworks has wide range of database.....it accepts catpart...and u can export it to ansys
Save file as IGFS and import in Ansys.....
IGS format can only be used for suface models ..wat about solid part.?
You can even save as .STP also
save catia file in IGS format and open that file in Pro-e save again in IGS format and select as solid then import in to ANSYS
Good afternoon,
If ANSYS is installed on the same computer with Catia, than the import is through 1 click. If not, I recomand to export first as parasolid your model, and second as iges.
Keep in touch.
Best regards.
