WB与APDl模型相互导入可通过FE MODELER作为中介来实现，从FE MODELER可以读入、也可以写出.CDB文件，APDl可以写出也可以读入.CDB文件，FE MODELER还可以写出.inp文件供APDL或者ABAQUS使用
将WB的模型导入Classic
the Write Solver File button can be used in conjunction with the Target System field in the toolbar to write out FE Modeler data to solver input files, through the use of Templates. Templates are provided to allow you to easily generate a customized Mechanical APDL, ABAQUS, STL, or NASTRAN input deck. There is also an option to create a custom Template. To write a solver file, select Generate Data in the Tree Outline, select the Target System template that you want to use, and click on the Write Solver File button in the toolbar. The following options are available from the Target System drop-down list:
?The Mechanical APDL application
?ABAQUS
?NASTRAN
?STL
?Template
See the FE Modeler Options section for information on how to change the path to a target system template.
Workbench 中FE MODELER的作用（来自帮助文件）
The Role of FE Modeler in ANSYS Workbench
FE Modeler works with the standard finite element representation used inside ANSYS Workbench. FE Modeler supports robust data transfer from NASTRAN, ABAQUS, STL, and other ANSYS Workbench applications into the Mechanical and Mechanical APDL applications.
Use FE Modeler to:
?Import a finite element (FE) model from a NASTRAN bulk data file or ABAQUS Input file. （导入从第三方软件产生的有限元模型）?Import a finite element (FE) model from an STL input file.
?Import FE information from the Mechanical application.
?Import FE information from Advanced Meshing. This capability is based upon specific licensing requirements. Please see the FE
Modeler Licensing section shown below. （导入网格文件）?Import archived Mechanical APDL data created using the CDWRITE command. This command writes a file with the default extension .cdb.
（导入由经典APDL生成的模型，导入的模型只包含有限元模型，而不包括点、线、面、体等几何模型，需要另外的操作进一步生成）?Navigate and visualize the data contained in the model.
?Generate a geometry from an FE Model using the Geometry Synthesis feature. （由有限元模型生成几何模型）
?Given an ANSYS Mesh Morpher license, parameterize and transform a generated geometry.
?Create named components based on element selections.（根据element selections 创建组件）
?Generate a Mechanical APDL, NASTRAN, ABAQUS, or STL input deck for downstream analysis. （生成APDL或者第三方软件所需的有限元模型）?Import a Fluent or CFX Mesh file. （导入FLUENT或者CFX的网格文件）
Workbench Advanced Meshing
If you have Workbench as well as ANSYS ICEM CFD installed, you can take a mesh from the ICEM CFD Meshing application into FE Modeler.
FE Modeler User Interface
FE MODELER 写出.INP文件（针对APDL或者ABAQUS、NASTRAN 等格式）

Basic FE Modeler Workflow
The following steps summarize the typical workflow when using FE Modeler. Subsequent sections describe additional tasks for exploring the data and for adding named components to the FE model.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/259402917.html,e Workbench to Open or Create an FE Modeler System.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/259402917.html,e Workbench to Link FE Modeler to Other Workbench Systems.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/259402917.html,e the FE Modeler Editor to review the Import Summary report.
During import, FE Modeler dynamically builds a report summarizing the information obtained from the meshes that were imported. The report also includes a list of issues raised during the import process. Carefully review these issues to determine their effect on the FE model.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/259402917.html,e the toolbar to print the report or export the document as an
HTML file.
5.Export the model using the Target System drop-down list on the
toolbar and select one of the following templates:
?Mechanical APDL - Default
?ABAQUS
?NASTRAN
?STL
?Template - Customizable option for one of the above output selections.
6.(Optional) Create a geometry from the finite element mesh using the
Geometry Synthesis feature. This feature enables you to use the model for further analyses in Workbench or to perform parametric studies.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/259402917.html,e the toolbar to print the preview or export the data in the form
of the target system’s commands to an .inp file.
Note: Because it is not unusual to encounter large gaps in node and element numbering in finite element models, Generated Data,
by default, compresses any such gaps when exporting to the
Mechanical APDL application. You can disable the option that
changes the ID's of all of nodes and elements that are sent
to the target system from FE Modeler through the Tools>
Options feature. However, sending large entity numbers such
as node or element ID's may not be memory efficient in the
Mechanical APDL application.
FE MODELER导出到APDL默认单元类型Mechanical APDL as the Target System
When Mechanical APDL is used as the Target System the following entities, if present, are written out as Mechanical APDL commands from FE Modeler.
Note: O nly structural element types are
supported.
Exported Mechanical APDL FE Entity Types have the following specifications.
FE MODELER导出到ABAQUS 默认单元类型ABAQUS as the Target System
When ABAQUS is used as the Target System the following entities, if present, are written out as ABAQUS commands from FE Modeler.
Note
Only structural element types are supported.
:
Exported ABAQUS FE Entity Types have the following specifications.
FE MODELER导出到自定义模板自定义单元类型Template as
the Target System
When Template is used as the Target System, you are prompted to open a customized template that you have created. A customized template allows you to control the order in which FE data is written out. In addition you can also intersperse commands with a template that are not supported by FE Modeler to perform advanced modeling or provide analysis controls.
Note: STL meshes are not supported by template target systems in 12.x.
Shown below are the commands contained in the Workbench provided default template for each of the supported target systems that you will use as the basis for a customize template. In addition, samples of the template are provided.
Note: Not all entities imported into FE Modeler can be exported to all of the available systems.

近来有不少人发贴询问这个问题。以前我的答复说的不是很明白，现在再详细的介绍一下。主要有三种方法。在此以V11为例，其他版本大同小异。
第一种，先在project tree上选上solution, 再如附图操作。
[本帖最后由pfsr 于2007-5-25 14:26 编辑]
1.jpg(48.26 KB)
第二种，在Details of "analysis Settings" --> Save ANSYS db: Yes
相对应的db文件在进行计算后就会保存在工作目录下。
在以前版本中这个操作有一点复杂。
tools --> options --> simulation -> solution --> save ANSYS files: Yes
2.jpg(34.69 KB)
第三种，在Project页选上Simulation，再在左侧点击open analysis in ANSYS。ANSYS C 就会启动。前提是同一台机器上已经安装Classic.

还有一些方法，比如插入commands。区别不是很大，我也就偷懒了。
下期预告: 如何将Classic的模型导入WB(仅限V11)
第三种，在Project页选上Simulation，再在左侧点击open analysis in ANSYS。ANSYS C 就会启动。前提是同一台机器上已经安装Classic.
1.目前这一步是可以的，但是如果只有网格划分，而不插入分析类型是不能从workbench
直接连接到ansys的。
2.个人认为如果再能从ansys到wb将非常好，因为WB的划分网格的功能并不好，如果
能导出去划分网格完毕再连接到wb将大大的方便了。
第四种方法
workbench, ansys, 面的
1.workbench从DM中导出的几何模型，转存为xt格式；
2.从workbench仿真模块中导出inp文件
3.在classic中打开xt文件
4.再读入inp文件
结果：两个图形不能重合，一个非常大，一个非常小。
看了许多前贴，有一个问题不明白：
wxzhch楼主提到
2)拖动mechanical APDL到geometry, 右键analysis, edit in mechanical APDL, 打开classic.
不知道如何操作？能抓一个图来说明吗？
右键analysis, edit in mechanical APDL, 打开classic.
有问题的话,请跟贴
可以在workbench中修改单元嘛？或者导入ansys后修改，怎么修改？3ks！
可以通过插入commands来修改单元。EMODIF
我发现一个问题，我的WRITE ansys inputfile 怎么是灰色的，是不是一一定要很DS后才能导入，能不能将建好的MODAL导入到ANSYS！
（本人才学，弱弱的问）希望各位高手不吝赐教！谢谢
我有在simulation里面画好网格后然后导入ansys中，结果发现有些单元属性很混乱（比如同一个面会出现少数几个不同类别的单元），这是为什么？如何在导入后重新设置单元属性？
版主：Simulation中默认的实体单元是18X系列，但也会生成一些辅助单元如154，10什么的。如果这些不是你所要的，那就得修改单元。edele删除不要的单元，emodif改变单元属性。
ANSYS 版本不同，可能有些差异。在11版，可以输出db文件，位置：Analysis Settings-Analysis dData Management.一般情况，程序会生成一个inp文件（工作目录下程序自行建立的子目
录）.也可以点击Project,左边的选择栏中open analysis in ANSYS.低版本可能是Ansys Environment，可以将网格及其载荷、求解信息直接代入ansys经典界面。
回复者：liuxingyong回复时间：2007-9-7回复:
我用的workbench是10.0，ansys是9.0。点击Environment后，生成FE modle，里面有个open analysis in ansys选项，是这个吗？但这个选项是灰色的。
回复者：zoz回复时间：2007-9-10回复:
还有在simulation里也有个Environment，下面的
"Details of Solution" 里有一项Save ANSYS db file，选择yes
但是保存时也不能生成db文件。
回复者：zoz回复时间：2007-9-10回复:
WB10不能直接将模型切换到ansys9.0。在统一的版本下，点击Proect,然后在Open analysis in ANSYS栏点击Environment,但必须有网格才能成功。在工作目录下，生成一个simulationmin 名称的子目录，子目录下有一个.inp的文件，这个文件可以在ANSYS中读入。db文件的产生必须solve.
ANSYS版本不同，可能有些差异。在11版，可以输出db文件，位置：Analysis Settings-Analysis dData Management.一般情况，程序会生成一个inp文件（工作目录下程序自行建立的子目录）.也可以点击Project,左边的选择栏中open analysis in ANSYS.低版本可能是Ansys Environment，可以将网格及其载荷、求解信息直接代入ansys经典界面。
workbench导入ansys后没有体，面，线，点，只有网格
https://www.doczj.com/doc/259402917.html,/misc.php?action=viewratings&tid=754039&pid=1404221workbench导入ansys后没有体，面，线，点，只有网格
因为workbench与其它CAD的无缝连接的优点，我用workbench导入proe模型（因为ansys 中直接导入proe模型出现了模型丢失的现象，我的模型比较复杂），所以我想把proe模型导入到workbench中，再把workbench导入ansys，发现没有体，面，线，点，只有网格。本人对workbench并不熟悉，所以希望在ansys中划网格做分析．怎样才能出现体，面，线，点。或者还是workbench无法实现的？
从AWB中到ANSYS只有单元和点。。。
好像AWB中的NAME SELECTION可以变相地定义几何模型中的几何外形。。。
提点建议，供参考。首先，在pro/e、ug、catia等三维建模软件中构建的零件或装配体，可以通过ansys的配置直接输入到经典界面下，进行线面体等前处理；其次，上述模型也可以直接输入到workbench环境下，进行分网、接触面的自动识别和编辑，并进行常见的静力分析、模态分析、谐分析等；再次，在workbench中进行前处理、求解设置后（尤其对于装配体的接触识别），可以切换到经典界面（当然要安装同样版本的ANSYS）下，会自动产生输入文件*.inp,利用APDL对其进行编辑，就可以批处理或进行更复杂的分析（如谱分析、随机震动分析等）。如上诸位所述，由workbench导入经典界面的模型仅有节点和单元，而且所产生的单元类型，在经典界面下并非支持所有的求解和优化，譬如实体的拓扑优化等。
转了这么大一个弯,还是解决不了我ansys中导入PROE模型丢失的问题，哎，我快发狂了．
可以试试先把模型导入DM，然后export其他文件格式，比如anf，xt或igs，再把前面导出的文件导入Classic
