Transferring CAD Connected materials to Ansys Workbench
When you import a CAD model to a project in Ansys Workbench, its Granta MI assignments can be transferred as ‘CAD Connected’ materials. This preserves the associations between the CAD assignments and the part geometry, and allows you to update the material cards with relevant data for your simulation project.
Transfer of Granta MI assignments as 'CAD Connected' materials is supported for the
following CAD-to-CAE workflows:
- Importing directly from Creo Parametric or NX, by launching Ansys Workbench from the application toolbar when the CAD part model is open.
- Importing from NX using a JT file.
After importing the 'CAD Connected' materials to your Engineering Data component, you can use MI Materials Gateway to update the material cards with data for simulation.
