Build your component in SolidWorks
1. Draw the desired beam in the SolidWorks
2. Export the file into IGES format
File > Save as > Change the file type to “IGES (*.igs)” > Click “Options” > Change
the “Surface representation/System preference" from "Standard" to "ANSYS" > Click
"ok" to close "Export Options" > Choose the folder and the name the file is saved >
Click "ok"

Import file in ANSYS window

1. File Menu >Import > IGES > Click ok for the poped up dialog box > Click
"Browse" and choose the file saved from SolidWorks > Click ok to import the file.
