Geometry Import Failed in ANSYS WB 17.1

Geometry Import Failed in ANSYS WB 17.1

Geometry Import Failed in ANSYS WB 17.1

(OP)
Hello all,

Over the weekend the IT department at my company updated all of the computers to run ANSYS Workbench 17.1.

I am now trying to reopen and work on a WB project that I created in V16.2, and the geometry file from SpaceClaim is not working. I'm getting the following three error messages:

"Unable to attach to geometry file C:\Projects\CA00428\CA00428_Dyn_files\dp0\Geom\DM\Geom.scdoc. Unable to attach geometry."
"PlugIn Error: Refresh failed."
"PlugIn Error: Failed to import assembly from SpaceClaim. No bodies to transfer."

I have no idea what plugin is failing, or what settings may need to be changed to allow the import to be successful.

If anyone else has experience with 17.1 or has any advice to offer it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
