Inventor 2009 and Workbench 11.0 sp1

[ansysfreak]

Dear All

Are there Interface problems using Inventor 2009 and Workbench 11.0 sp1?
This is officially not supported by ANSYS but usely it still works. The 32-bit version of Inventor with 32-bit Workbench still works, but when Inventor becomes 64-bit the interface is killed.
Who is facing the same problem(s)?
Are there know workarounds?

Thanks
Garry

I haven't upgraded to Inventor 2009, so I don't know. I would guess that 64 bit Inventor might work with 64 bit ANSYS if its not working with the 32 bit version. It could be something in regards to how Inventor saves its file information. I assume you've tried thing like exporting to a step or IGES file and bringing it in to ANSYS?

Hi Transient1

It's just that I want to know how many of you are facing the same problem. And if they know a wrokaround to fix the problem for the interface. Because exporting sat from Inventor is a good workaround to get the geometry in Workbench, but then the bi-directional associativity is gone. Iges and step can't be imported to workbench on a 64bit.

Thanks for the reply.
