Hi,

I created a mesh in HyperMesh and i would like to export it in .unv format.I chose ideas template for export. But as I saw in the ideas file there is no pyramid elements (I have them in my mesh). So I did as you wrote here :

I created a pyra.tpl and I included it in my ideas file. But it still doesn't work and I don't have any pyramides. Have you any idea of how  to fix it?

    I think, it doesn't work because ideas does not support pyramide elements. So I will export in nastran and convert after.

    By using your 'pyra.tpl', I got the following output:

     CPYRAM       334       5     335     342     337     336     343 CPYRAM       335       5     335     334     340     342     346 CPYRAM       336       5     337     342     341     338     345 CPYRAM       337       5     342     340     339     341     344 CPYRAM       347       5     348     355     350     349     356     364                      370     367     363     365     384     371     368 CPYRAM       348       5     348     347     353     355     359     360                      361     378     364     366     362     380     387 CPYRAM       349       5     350     355     354     351     358     370                      381     373     369     372     386     383     374 CPYRAM       350       5     355     353     352     354     357     378                      375     376     381     385     379     377     382

    So I think this template works :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />
