Patrick:

I would try the following:

Do you have Parasolid import capability?
It is much more robust.

Can you try it on a non-alpha machine?
I know that the ALPHA compilers are touchier
and have found that much of my own code runs
everywhere else but on the ALPHA.

Can you try a newer version of ANSYS?

If your don't have these options and it still crashes
like this, you need to contact
your ASD or Direct Sales office. They can
try it out for you on new versions/other machines and
if it is a problem, they can help you find a work around.

Hi XANSYS,

I run Rev 5.6.1 on an Alpha under NT 4.0.

I wrote an IGES file in SolidWorks, then issued from a macro:

IOPTN, IGES, ALTERNATE
IGESIN, quarter_housing, IGES

All ANSYS windows disappeared. All ANSYS processes stopped. No error
messages appeared. Issuing the commands from the GUI produced the same
silent crash.

I commented out the first line and reran the macro:

! IOPTN, IGES, ALTERNATE
IGESIN, quarter_housing, IGES

The import worked.

I would very much like to import under the alternate option, so I can easily
build and modify geometry. Has anyone any suggestions?

Patrick
