• Please note that this slide deck uses the Creo Reader and Associative Interface to demonstrate how to Configure CAD readers and Interfaces to work with ANSYS Inc Products.
• The other Readers and Associative Interfaces are configured in a very similar way and so you should be able to follow the same general workflow for each.

What options should I pick during the Installation?
© 2013 ANSYS, Inc. 5
• During the Installation you are given the option of which CAD Packages to Install.
• Make sure the ones you require are selected.
• Most of these options are small in terms of size and so the recommendation is to leave them selected. • This means you can configure them
later without needing to re-run the installer.
Make sure you install the CAD Packages during Installation
