It gives following error
"No areas selected to display. The APLO command is ignored"

RE: importing catia file to ansys
Now m using Ansys workbench and its working fine...
earlier i was using Mechanical ADPL (Ansys)
Does it make any difference to use workbench as i found Workbench to be more user friendly..
RE: importing catia file to ansys
Under the bonnet there are some subtle differences between the two - for example, WB and Mechanical have different meshers (or at least used to), and the consensus is that the "better" mesher (i.e. more robust, better general mesh quality, etc.) resides within WB, but I'm used to the Mechanical mesher and it does everything I need. It depends what you're used to working with but personally I prefer the Mechanical interface for the work that I do.
