Importing Parameterized Catia model in to Ansys Workbench

[David Browne]

All,

1) I am working on a design of experiment (DoE) in ANSYS.

2) I created a parameterized model in Catia V5.

3) I wish to be able to pull in those parameters defined in Catia in to Ansys so the DoE can run as per a usual DoE experiment.

4) I have already converted the Catia Product (assembly) in to .igs and imported the model in to ANSYS Design Modeler (DM).

5) I have also attempted to design the parts + assembly in ANSYS DM to help retain the in-ANSYS-linkage of parameters but DM is too primitive and wont model the complex geometry of my model.

6) I am also trying to get to grips with CAD Nexus where I'm told this retains the parameters defined in Catia and shows them in ANSYS - however I am having no luck.

Could someone please offer some advice/assistance/explain their working procedure?

Many thanks.

David.

not sure about that but you might need Ansys workbench

and I have the feeling you should be able to see v5 parameters from Ansys... Did you check with your Ansys support?
