Good morning, This import not work properly every time.
Depends very much on the version of ANSYS which you
use, and version of Catia in which you made model. I
propose to you other modality of export if you have to
your disposition ANSYS Design Modeller (started with
version 12.0 of ANSYS is called Geometry this module
see in left panel after you will opened the WB module).
Export from Catia your model using different type of
export (iges, parasolid, step, etc). If you will export direct
from Catia to WB, you must to have installed on your
computer first Catia and after that ANSYS (to work this
conversion). After you will import new format geometry
in WB, you can exported without any modification using
parasolid format. For me works very well in condition in
which I study constant geometries with many holes, small
surfaces (for example cavities from blowing press). For
other question, I am to your disposition. Best regards.

Save catia file in any of the neutral formats such as in
IGES format or STEP format or in parasolid. after saving
in the neutral format you can easily import the files in any
of the analysis tools

Based on my experience with ANSYS APDL and import,
the best results (for import) I obtained always using
parasolid format instead of other type. (I must to mention
that, for export geometry I use SolidEdge ST3 and not
Catia). Keep in touch.
