[ICEM] The problem about transferring SOLIDWORKS 2D geometry file to ICEM

meshman · February 7, 2013, 08:21

Hello, I'm a beginner using ICEM CFD & FLUENT ANSYS.
When I use ICEM to meshing, the geometry should be imported from CAD program. CAD program I use is SOLIDWORKS(ver.2010).
In case of 3D, the geometry is imported easily by 'workbench reader', but the 2D case does not work(although I add a plane to 2D geomtry).

(the error message)
Error: File not found
Current Coordinate system is global

Transferring 2D geometry doesn't work from Solidworks to ICEM, originally?

Try to save your geometry in .igs (iges) ad import it into icem
