ANSYS Workbench: Plane Strain Problem

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the challenges of importing 2D assemblies from SolidWorks into ANSYS Workbench for plane strain analysis. The user attempted various file formats, including SLDASM, STEP, and IGES, but faced difficulties in modeling 2D assemblies within the Workbench environment. They seek guidance on available resources, specifically PDFs detailing the steps for 2D assembly modeling and conducting plane strain analysis in ANSYS Workbench.

PREREQUISITES
  • SolidWorks 3D modeling techniques
  • ANSYS Workbench familiarity
  • Understanding of IGES file format specifications
  • Knowledge of plane strain analysis principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to properly export 2D assemblies from SolidWorks to ANSYS Workbench
  • Learn about the IGES import options in ANSYS Workbench
  • Find comprehensive guides on 2D assembly modeling in ANSYS Workbench
  • Study the methodology for performing plane strain analysis in ANSYS Workbench
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, simulation analysts, and CAD designers looking to integrate SolidWorks models into ANSYS Workbench for finite element analysis.

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?
