ANSYS Workbench: Plane Strain Problem

Click For Summary
The user is experiencing difficulties importing a SolidWorks assembly of two 2D surfaces into ANSYS Workbench, having tried various formats like SLDASM, Step, and IGES without success. They are also struggling to model 2D assemblies directly in the Workbench modeller. The discussion seeks assistance in resolving these import and modeling issues, specifically looking for a PDF guide on 2D assembly modeling and plane strain analysis in ANSYS. Additionally, there is a question about whether there is an option during IGES file import to specify if the geometry is a solid or surface. The conversation highlights the need for clear resources and guidance on using ANSYS Workbench for 2D modeling.

I have an assembly of two 2D surfaces. I modeled it on SolidWorks however, I could not import it to Ansys in any format. I tried SLDASM, Step and IGES. I tried modelling the same on Workbench modeller. However, I could not figure out a way to model 2D assemblies on the modeller.

Can someone please help me sort out the problem?

Is there a PDF available online that gives steps to do 2D assembly modelling on ANSYS workbench and also gives steps to run a plane strain analysis.

Thanks

Is there an option when importing the IGES file to specify if the geometry is a solid or a surface?
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
