I have a table of forces in excel format that i want to place onto a beam in solidworks. Problem is after keying in and saving the .csv file, when i try to load the same list solidworks says its not a valid file. I tried the same thing in .txt and failed. Can anybody shed some light on this?
How will you put them on the beam?
What method are you using to import them?
The only method I can think of doing what you are doing is with a design study. Is that what you are doing? If so, one method I use is to export first and then put in your values. That will ensure that the start of your input file is correct.
