Q) Is it possible to get ProE Wildfire 2 Mechanica to work with ANSYS R10.0 solver without the ANSYS ProFEA product?


A) It is possible to have the Mechanica mesher export a mesh file (nodes, elements, loads, materials, etc) in an Ansys format. I have attached a png image that shows the ProE Mechanica Export GUI panel, and a zipped copy of this output file. The header shows that ProE is using an Ansys 7.1 format. Be sure to set the element type to quadratic, or PTC will output a 4 noded tet element (SOLID73) which has been un-documented.
