I think many of you guys are missing the point of the direct interface. Sure, you can export to IGES/parasolid/etc, and then import into ANSYS. However, if you can attach the geometry correctly, then the interface can update the part in ANSYS for you.
For example, I have a complex part, that in ANSYS has dozens and dozens of named selections. If I need to iterate on the part, change the geometry and then have to re-import, all of my named selections are gone, as it is a new import.
However, if it properly attached, I can simply click, "Update" and the geometry will update keeping all of my old named selections.

That it exactly why I had my company go to the SolidWorks interface. I do a lot of complex models with dozens of parts and contact conditions, and rebuilding it is a PITA.

Furthermore I have personally ran into problems where converting to IGES gives slivers and other crappy things that ruin the ability to mesh and solve.
IGES and parasolid are fixes, but not the solution.

I have had the same kind of problems with IGES files. They are just difficult to work with. Parasolid is fine, but if you're going to be iterating a design based on the FEA model, a bi-directional link is a must.
