Subject: importing 3D models to ANSYS
Author: asiganos@
Date: 2001-01-29 06:51:00

I have a general question in handling 3D models. The question is
about importing 3D models from a CAD system rather than creating them
in the preprocessor. What I'm afraid of is that:
a) I will face difficulties in meshing the model and I will have to
split volumes to sub-volumes to make meshing easier
b) Though ANSYS has some tools to "delete" useless details, I don't
know how effective they are.

Can anyone experienced in this area give me his opinion in importing
3D models in ANSYS? Is it effective or I will end up re-creating the
model in the ANSYS preprocessor?

The reason I'm asking is that we are thinking about purchasing the
corresponding ANSYS Connection Product for SolidWorks.

Thank you in advance,
