Hi! I am not sure why but when I try to import my geometry from solidworks to optistruct it only shows as a single component geometry while in Ansys it shows as different parts. I want to know how can I have multiple components in optistruct? I am performing size optimization so I need to assign different properties and thickness to different parts of the model. I am attaching my geometry here hoping someone can guide me. Thanks!

Hi,
import geometry>solidworks>split components by>part (default is body)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Try other formats and/or import options if the issue is not resolved.
Thanks for your reply. For some reason I am not getting the same options as shown in the photo you posted. Please let me know whats the issue. Thanks!
There are differences in available options as you are using version 13.0 and I'm using version 2019.1- upgrading to a newer version is suggested.
I see the split component by body/part option is available at your end, but they are grayed out. This can be expected when importing a part (sldpart file), but not assembly (sldasm file).
