Bodies Imported from CAD

Imported bodies can also inherit properties from their source CAD system or CAD file. The properties that can be inherited for these bodies are:

  • Name

  • Material

  • Thickness

Not all CAD systems support the transfer of these properties. For specific information on which CAD systems support these properties, see the Import External Geometry File and Attach to Active CAD Geometry.

With Name and Thickness properties, they will inherit their values from the CAD system or file until you manually change them in the Ansys DesignModeler application. Once modified, they will no longer inherit names or thicknesses from the CAD system.
