Hi everybody,

 

I'm new at hypermesh and I'm trying to learn as much as possible but I'm having a lot of problems... one is the next one: I think I assign a property to the shape (as can be seen on the left of the image) but when I try to use Optistruct it tells me that there is missing property; can you help me?

 

Moreover do you know where I can find more tutorials on load and analysis on Hypermesh, because on https://certification.altairuniversity.com/course/view.php?id=95 I find just one course on it.

 

Thank you very much in advance

    Hello,

     

    This is because you have used the PSOLID property and the mesh is 2D you need to either mesh the object with 3D elements or change the property to PSHELL.

     

    I would suggest you to go through the learning library https://altairuniversity.com/learning-library/

    also the Learning and Certification courses https://certification.altairuniversity.com/

     

    Thankyou

    Sanjay

    Hi

    if your model is solid then you have to delete quad4 and tria3 elems:

    Please press F2

    switch entity to 'elems'

    click on 'elems'

    select 'by config'

    select 'config=' > quad4

    click 'select entities'

    click 'delete'
