Importing
(OP)
Hi everybody, I have a problem with importing a model from SolidWorks 2009 to ANSYS 12 Classic. My cad model consists a revolve as a main feature and also some patterned holes on cylindirical surface of revolved body.
First problem is; ansys represents my holes(of course those are cylindirical holes) with two circles connected by two lines. But, to have a butterfly mesh i need two circles connected by four lines.
The second problem is; ansys always says that one line is attached to an area. What can I do to delete this line?
I am attaching a picture of my not properly meshed model also.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Importing
I think you should also try an Ansys forum.

Try saving into an IGES, on the "save as" dialog box, click "Options" & select Ansys from "Surface representation/system preference"
Hope that helps.

RE: Importing
I regularly import models (igs & step ) in Ansys Workbench, and seldome encounter problems.
Is this the first time ur trying to import files into ansys?
I m confused as to what do u mean by lines?
Are you having meshing issues or import issues?
