SimulationXpress claims "there is no solid body to process"

[rustynissan]

I have a part which I have modified significantly after running SimulationXpress. After the modification, it will not let me run SimulationXpress and tells me that "there is no solid body to process". I found a thread implicating that the simulation data needs to be stripped from the file, but there was no advice as to how this could be done. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

I actually solved the problem. I rolled back the part file until it actually let me enter SimulationXpress. I then deleted my restraints and loads and closed SimulationXpress. When prompted to save I said yes. I then rolled forward my part document and was able to enter SimulationXpress.

For future reference, I've had a similar problem and found that occasionally creating a new feature (e.g. a random extruded cylinder) and then suppressing it would allow me to run the simulation.

Either way I think there's something wacky going on with the definition of "solid" in solidworks.
