It is not possible to import the APDL file directly into ANSYS Workbench. But there is a link between ANSYS Classic and ANSYS Workbench so that the meshed model can be used in Workbench.

  1. Import the model into ANSYS Classic and mesh it.

  2. From the command line run CDOPT, ANF to setup the output format.

  3. Run CDWRITE, COMB, filename, CDB.

    This will write both geometry and database information to one file.

    For further information and options, see CDWRITE in the ANSYS Help.

  4. Open ANSYS Workbench and create an empty project.

  5. Click Link to ANSYS CDWRITE Input… and open the cdb file you created before.

  6. Select the filename.

  7. In ANSYS CDWRITE Tasks, click New FE Model.

    This will read all information from the cdb file.
