Importing CAD Files into ANSYS Icepak

Hello,
I am triyng to import an IGES file into Icepak.
I am using this tutorial: https://www.sharcnet.ca/Software/Ans...rt_cad_options

But the geometry comes as colorful lines, like something is wrong, and when I try to simulate, it's like the model imported did not exist.

Anyone has tryied something like this?

This model in particular is a fin heat sink that I have modeled in Solidworks.

Thanks!

Hi,
The imported model is in wireframe. you have to convert the model into regular block.

Thanks fot the answer!

What I did was to set the model as a level 3 CAD objetc (eletronics)

This way:

Tools menu > Electronics > Simplify > Level 3 (CAD object)
