The SpaceClaim geometry interface supports SpaceClaim Engineer, and with SpaceClaim Direct Modeler on the Windows 64-bit operating system.
See Product & CAD Configuration Manager for usage information.
For detailed installation information about the Product & CAD Configuration Manager, see:
Support
At the time of release, detailed version support information for the Linux and Windows platforms is accessible via Geometry Interface Support.
For information about post-release CAD system compatibility with Ansys Workbench, see the Platform Support section of the Ansys Website.

Caveats and Known Issues
Enclosure and Symmetry Processing — In SpaceClaim you can create volume extraction bodies and enclosure bodies. These are transferred independent of the "Enclosure and Symmetry Processing" setting. If you do not want them to be transferred, you can hide them in SpaceClaim.
Instancing Support — While SpaceClaim supports transformations of reflected or mirrored geometry, Ansys Workbench does not support it. The user is advised to remove the instancing relationships among reflected components in SpaceClaim before the geometry is imported in Ansys Workbench.
