Macro error while importing parasolid geomtery | ADAMS/Car

athrey

I'm working on building a car model and when I delete the present geometry made on ADAMS and try to import the geometry in parasolid format, I get a macros error (Please refer to attached image). I don't get the same error when I keep the ADAMS geometry and follow the same steps. But, for some reason, the right side of the vehicle vanishes when I make a full vehicle assembly. Could someone please help me with this?

    Does the geometry import as it should?
    In that case you can probably ignore the error. It seems like the macro tries to purge a group with old geometry and you don't have any old geometry of the type it is looking for.

    Sorry about the late reply, yes it does. It works if I simulate it as well. But, when I save it and open again, the geometry disappers.

    It should not if you have saved the template. So maybe there is something more underlying to that error.

    Only the right side geometry of import disappers, left side stays.

    Here is what happens, if I ignore the error and carry on, everything works (Please refer to image).
    step_1
    But, once and save and open the file again, geometry on the right hand side vanishes.
    step_2
