Does ANSYS design modeler support 3D MAX extension file?

Saima Khan · August 18, 2019, 05:08

My geometry is made in 3D MAX software the file type is .max can anyone please tell me that can i import .max file into design modeler or space claim of ansys 19.1 version for simulation?

You can export to STL format. I search here https://knowledge.autodesk.com/suppo...E0B32-htm.html

Hi Ontario,

As Huynh suggested a .stl file could be an option. Depending on how you created your geometry in 3DS max I would rather recommend you to export it into a CAD format rather than faceted data as a stl (as it's less precise and often you'll need to convert the stl data to surface / volume data before running a simulation).

3DS max offers a lot of different CAD export format that are compatible with ANSYS directly (sat, iges, IPT, sldprt, etc...).

Have fun
