Hello, is it possible to export from solidworks line, using parasoloid format file, just like solid body or shell body?

no... extrude something along the line (such as a circle) and export the resultant body as a parasolid, then extract the line after importing the parasolid.
.stp (or even iges) may be a better choice of format for curve geometry such as lines.

Thanks for the answer.
.stp format seems to be better.

The point is that I need to export from SolidWorks shell model with lines at the same position as edges of shell surfaces. Then I want to import this geometry to Design Modeller (Ansys Workbench). Unfortunately there are no lines all the time...
