                          Authored by Nick Heberle February 21st, 2022 8224 views 9 likes KB1257702

                          Error

                          When attempting to import a SolidWorks or Catia file into Electronics Desktop, you receive an error that the translator is not installed:

                          Error Text:

                          Translator installation for CATIA V5 and SOLIDWORKS import not found.

                          Description/Cause

                          The translator necessary is not included with the Electromagnetics suite, and must be installed separately.

                          Solution

                          1. In the Ansys Customer Portal, download the Electronics MCAD Translators package from the Add-On Packages section.
                            Delete

                            Info

                            For more information about accessing the Ansys Customer Portal, check out Accessing the Ansys Customer Portal

                          2. Unzip the downloaded package, and open the folders to find setup.exe, right click and run it as administrator.
                          3. Click Next through the wizard.
                          4. When the wizard completes, click Finish.
