This option allows you to import geometry from legacy CAD formats CATIA V4, GEMS, Rhino 3DM, and Plot3d. Select the format of the geometry file you want to import; a corresponding window will open with further options.
A complete list of legacy geometry formats supported by ICEM CFD is viewable via the Ansys, Inc. website (Support > Platform Support). See the Platform Support section of the Ansys Website, download the CAD Support file, and refer to the Ansys ICEM CFD Direct Interface Support page.
Note: Several options are directly available only on Linux. On Windows, you need a supplemental install and to enable beta options.
Tip: Many newer formats are supported in the Import Model option using Workbench Readers. If your model fails to read with the Ansys ICEM CFD Legacy option, try the Import Model option instead.
Options for importing geometry are shown in Figure 20: Import Legacy Geometry.
