If you’re using Workbench, then I don’t know. But if you’re using MAPDL then you could try having a look here [PyMAPDL Documentation — ansys.mapdl.core 0.60.1 documentation](https://mapdldocs.pyansys.com/index.html). I think it will export your model as a \*.vtk file that you can import in Paraview.
