I have a Creo model which is a surface and has parameters. I want to do a 2D analysis with the parameters, so I used the CAD interface to transfer the geometry. The geometry and parameters transfer over fine into DesignModeler. I sketched a fluid domain and created surface from sketch. When I try to boolean subtract the new surface with my Creo surface, I get the error Conversion of body to DesignModeler format failed. Is there a solution to this?nThe boolean subtract works if I import the CAD as a STEP file, making me think it's an issue with importing a native Creo file, but the STEP file doesn't transfer parameters, so I'd prefer not to use it. For that reason, I cannot use SpaceClaim either.n

If you have Spaceclaim, please use it for parameterization. You can check following. nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

I didn't want to use SpaceClaim, because I wanted the parameters I already had in Creo. I found a workaround to my issue by making the Creo model a solid, and then using trim in DesignModeler to make it into a surface.n
