Connecting Icepak to Mechanical

  Hello,
  
  I currently have an Icepak Model that I have created from scratch within Icepak (i.e. no STEP file). I am now looking to do some static structural analysis. After running the solution on Icepak, on dropping the 'static structural' node onto 'solution' cell of Icepak in Workbench, the static structural node asks for a 'Geometry'. How do I go about importing a geometry since I have created my model entirely within Icepak? Without the geometry, the other nodes like 'Model' and 'Setup' within Static Structural do not work since upstream data (i.e. Geometry) is required.
  
  I have attached a screenshot of my Workbench screen (with the Icepak solution loaded) for reference. Could someone tell me how I go about resolving this issue?

  We don't have much Icepak cover on here at the moment, but if you open the Icepak solver up there's a STEP export option under the File menu. Hopefully someone in the community will know more.
