hello, I'm learing mechanical engineering using ansys APDL 2022 R2.

My question is, when i import my modeling file into ansys, There's no geometry.

extension is CATPart (catia modeling file).

I can succesfully import my modeling file in ansys interface as I pictured below

 

But when I use macro code for modal anaylsis, There's no Geometry like picture below

Here's my macro code for importing catia modeling file named '13'

!======================================!

/clear
/UNITS,SI

! modal analysis
!/OUT,catia_analysis,out
filename = 'catia_analysis'
/filename,%filename%

/PREP7

/NOPR
FINISH

/input,start,ans,'C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\ANSYS Student\v222\ANSYS\apdl\'
/AUX15

~CAT5IN,'13','CATPart','D:\user\catia_analysis\.',SOLIDS,0
/NOPR
/GO
)/GOP    ! Resume printing after UNDO process
)! We suggest a save at this point

VPLOT

!======================================!

Is there any problem in my code or error(crash) between ansys and catia version?

thanks :)

Hi

I would recommend to use Workbench mechanical, much easier to use, and we have lots of courses in this website.

 

You can import it there and model there.

 

All the best

PS: for the apdl import issue this and see if there are any volumes listed (assuming it is a solid volume part):

allsel,all

vlist,all

 

–

If nothing is listed then the import does not work

Hi jeon

This period seems to be out of place; please remove it and try the macro again:
