Import the Geometry
Please download the .igs file for the geometry here: monocoque.IGS. To Import import the geometry, right-click Geometry, go to File->Import... A dialog box will open as shown below:
To view the .igs files, go to the pull down menu to the left of the File name text box and change it to Geometry File(...). Go to the mouse-over Import Geometry and select Browse. Then, navigate to the location where you saved the monocoque.igs file and click Open. Your workbench should look like this:A green checkmark should now appear next to Geometry.
Build the Geometry
Double-click Geometry to bring up Design Modeler. On the top toolbar, select Units and then choose inch .
This particular geometry contains solids, surfaces and line bodies. In default setting, Ansys ANSYS does not build the line bodies, but we can change that with the following steps:
Double-click Geometry to bring up Design Modeler.
Select inch as the unit and hit OK .
easily. Under Detail of Import1, change Line Bodies to to Yes as shown below:
Now Click Generate to build the geometry.
This will make sure line bodies will be built along with the surfaces and solids.
Prepare the geometry for meshing
The following video shows how to prepare a the geometry for composite analysis with ANSYS.
