Exporting Assemblies to Abaqus

Altair Forum User

Hi,

 

I am meshing some CAD files, containing different parts, and what I need to do is export these in the Abaqus file format.

 

In order to perform simulations, I need to export from HyperMesh the geometry grouped in parts and instanced in one Assembly, but unfortunately HyperMesh doesn't seem to allow this.

 

In fact, everytime I try, I get Abaqus files that contains only the nodes and the connectivity matrix without the description of parts and assemblies.

 

Help anyone?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

This seems to be related to part and Instances format. And unfortunately this is not supported now.

Hopefully in the next release this format will be supported.
