I've just tried to run a drop test. These are computationally demanding so I tried to be economical with the meshing. Part of the assembly was a pipe which lends itself to being modelled as a swept surface. That was done. Opened a static study and the surface automatically appears in the parts list ready to be meshed as a shell. One thing I do not like about the new way of defining mixed meshes is that I now have to hunt through the study listing of solids, beams and shels and exclude those that solids that have been modelled with a surface. This was done automatically in 2008 when the shells could be defined in Cosmos.
When I then opened a study for a drop test (Simulation Professional) I found that the surface did not appear in the component list. Not sure why this would be the case.
Still having problems opening past Simulation studies. I may have discovered a novel way around the problem though. If you open a part without a study and then open a part with the study the program doesn't crash - at least not so far.
