Ansys Workbench 14.5: Unable to attach geometry error.

Ansys Workbench 14.5: Unable to attach geometry error.

Ansys Workbench 14.5: Unable to attach geometry error.

(OP)
Hi all,
I am working on a 3D model in Ansys workbench 14.5. I did a simulation, but I wanted to update 1 component in the geometry. So, I imported a .prt file and tried to update the model. But the simulation window crashes giving the error:
"Unable to attach to geometry file..file location. Either the application crashed or workbench lost communication with it".
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Change the format of your geometry(step format) and have a try.

RE: Ansys Workbench 14.5: Unable to attach geometry error.

First, tell us what you are doing. I assume you are using Design Modeler. Are you using "Import CAD geometry file" or "Attach to active CAD Geometry?"

Hi Rick!
Yes I am using Design Modeler to import the CAD. And then after importing I am trying to open the simulation window to update the model. I am using "Import External Geometry File" as the option to bring in the updated component. First I suppressed the old component and then I imported the new one in DM. Once its imported, I tried top open the simulation window in workbench. So it gave the error mentioned above.

The second point I want to make here is of the Automatic contact creation of Ansys workbench. I have turned off the option from Tools>>Options>>Mechanical but still it does creates some duplicate connections.
