Step 2: Create a Static Structural (ANSYS) Analysis System
Drag the Static Structural (ANSYS) icon from the Analysis Systems Toolbox
window and drop it inside the highlighted green rectangle in the Project
Schematic window to create a standalone static structural analysis system.

Step 3: Launch the SpaceClaim Program
Right-click on the Geometry Cell and choose Properties from its drop-down context
menu to bring up the Properties of Schematic A3: Geometry panel. From that
panel under Basic Geometric Options, select Line Bodies to enable truss model-
ing. Next, double-click on the Geometry cell to launch the SpaceClaim program.
