https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/cfd-forum/reading-model-file-error/m-p/5860190#M20784 <P>Hey everyone!<BR /><BR />I'm having a bit of an issue using AutoDesk CFD. &nbsp;I'm using it in conjunction with AutoDesk Inventor. &nbsp;I can create a 3D model in AutoDesk Inventor and import to CFD just fine. &nbsp;Everything imports as it should be. &nbsp;However, whenever I try to import a 2D model, the Output Bar shows "Reading model file" in grayed out text. &nbsp;The task manager shows no change in the the memory usage on the computer. Nothing happens after that. &nbsp;<BR /><BR />The file is saved on the C: drive. &nbsp;I'm using the Student version of AutoDesk Inventor 2016 and AutoDesk CFD 2015. &nbsp;I also don't have the launcher installed for AutoDesk Inventor (all tutorials that suggest using this lead me to an installation file, and I'm told to click a checkbox that is unselectable for some reason). I mention this because I've been told that using the launcher leads to fewer errors. &nbsp;I'm starting a New Design Study from AutoDesk CFD.<BR /><BR />Any and all help is appreciated!</P> Tue, 13 Oct 2015 21:57:30 GMT Anonymous 2015-10-13T21:57:30Z
