Integrate solidworks and ansys

[corkyo4]

Does anyone know how to integrate solidworks with ansys. I know according to the ansys website that it is possible, but im not sure how its done. To be honest ive not installed solidworks yet so i dont know whether it automatically detects ansys and sorts itself out. But assuming it doesnt, can anyone provide any info.

Thanks

corkyo4,
I know that ANSYS has an addin for SW called workbench and works directly with the SW models.
