How can i import a sketch of a cad model .

For eg : i made a roll cage structure ,now to proceed with 1-D mesh i just need the lines. how can i convert the roll cage structure to a line sketch.

I use Solidworks for CAD modelling.

    Hi Sahil,

     

    Not sure whether SolidWorks can write lines in step or IGES or to SolidWorks format. Try to export lines to any of these format and import the same in HyperMesh.

    i have tried importing using all the supported formats,but none of them is exporting the same.

    'in most of them an empty file error is coming up '

    for doing 1-D mesh on chassis ,should i make the complete model in hyperworks itself?

    Hi Sahil,

     

    Yes, you can create lines and mesh within HyperMesh.
