I'm trying to import a tubular buggy frame design made in solidworks into ANSYS mechanical apdl to do some structural analysis. The model is made of a few 3d sketches and weldements. Currently to do it I have to manually write down the coordinates for each node in the frame and then import each one into ANSYS and then in ANSYS create beam elements between all the nodes. Is there a better way to import the nodes at the very least or ideally have a macro or something else that can generate all the ANSYS code to import my model?
