If you have full or crack version of ANSYS, then in ProE we can create Ansys *.anf files.


In ProE select: Utilities (or Tools in Wildfire)> Auxiliary Aplications > Register. Now you must select file "protk.dat" in ansys directory (for example c:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\v71\ANSYS\ac4\data\pro\Intel\protk.dat). Then click Start. If no errors then you get in "Menu manager" new lines: ANSYS Geom,...


If you have correct geometry thenyou get in you directory *.anf file.


Now in ANSYS: File > Read Input from ... and find your *.anf file. This is the best way how you can import surfaces and solid models.
