Import to ANSYS of a SW part with a flexed feature

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to import a Solidworks part to ANSYS, a long rectangular protrusion wrapped on a cylinder and twisted to look like a helix (using the flex feature). I've tried importing using the IGES file extension, without success, as well as other extensions such as Parasolid, CATIA, converting into a ProE part then importing into ANSYS, etc... Help on the subject is appreciated.

Thanks

Emilie
