The Geometry of the Tertiary Truss is the most complicated part of the design process.  Many hours were spent creating the Solidworks geometry for the truss. This requires many hours and practice in Engineering Design. However, this tutorial focuses on properly analyzing the structure, not creating it from scratch, so we will provide the created geometry.

Click here to download the Solidworks composite .zip.

Unzip the folder, and open up ANSYS.  Use the import button to open up the file "Truss K_SF_2.5_surf_Flex". (Remember to select "geometry file" from the drop down menu.)  This assembly contains all the parts listed in this folder: do not separate the assembly from the parts.
