Details

Customers with an NX environment where the ANSYS plugin, part of the (ANSYS CAD Integration) has been deployed, are experiencing issues with the translations to STEP, IGES and and IGES and DXF/DWG.

Platforms
  • na windows-1064
Release Versions
  • NX V2206
  • NX V2212
  • NX V2306
  • NX V2312
  • NX V2406
Solution

The ANSYS plugin modifies the path to the file %UGII_BASE_DIR%\NXBIN\tbb.dll (prior to NX 2312) and %UGII_BASE_DIR%\NXBIN\tbb12.dll (NX2312 and NX 2406) that controls the STEP, IGES and DXF/DWG translators. As a workaround, you can copy the file %UGII_BASE_DIR%\NXBIN\tbb.dll (prior to NX 2312) or %UGII_BASE_DIR%\NXBIN\tbb12.dll (NX2312 and NX 2406) to the following folders:

  • %UGII_BASE_DIR%\STEP203UG
    • %UGII_BASE_DIR%\STEP214UG
      • %UGII_BASE_DIR%\IGES
        • %UGII_BASE_DIR%\DXFDWG
          Notes

          Please note that the issue is caused by a third-part component and that the issue has been reported to the responsible vendor.
