Solid Works for ANSYS
(OP)
Hi there all,
I am a beginner studying ANSYS right now and I wanted to know from the experiences and knowhow of most of you - is Solid Works the most common solid modelling software used in ANSYS FEA? Thanks for the tip.

Like all CAD programs, SW can export a varity of neutral formats like parasolid, IGES, STEP.
IMHO, interoperability between CAD and FEA is oversold. What counts is a sound analysis with realistic results.

You don't get that type of thing with STEP and parasolid importion, and you have to reapply all of your Boundary Conditions and other settings each time you import a new part.
Just my 2 cents.
