Discovery Live Split Face

  When I create a model in Discovery Live and split a face on that model, running a structural analysis and applying a force to that split face works correctly. But when I import the same model from SolidWorks and then split the face in Discovery Live, the force on the split face has no effect (I get zero stress or displacement). Why might this be happening?

  UPDATE: This seems to only be an issue when I import assemblies from SolidWorks. Bringing in a single body works fine, but bringing in a multi-body assembly is when the issue occurs.
