Black volume

Altair Forum User

Hello! I have a problem when I create or import solid components. It appears in color black instead of the one that I put to this component. I attached an image showing my problem. How can I solve this? Thank you

Hi @Helena Sanchez

 

Can you zoom in and check whether color changes to red?

I tried an it's still all black. I changed the color ad I realized that it only changes the color of the lines that define my solid.

Hello,

 

Can you please share the model so i can see how it is on my PC.

 

Thankyou

This is the Catia model. Is very simple. I've try with another models and it's the same with all of them, so I don´t know if the problem comes from the model or from Hypermesh.

Thank you very much!

I had something like this happen a few years back, and the 'fix' (discovered quite by accident) ended up being to change the color of the system collector.  Seems like a long shot here but may be worth a try.

Okey, how can I change the color of the system collector? 

Thank's!!

The reason is the mesh lines. When you zoom out, they are kind of converged and makes the component look like a black colored component. 

 

Zoom into the model and it should show you the component color (if it is not black),

Hi Prakash Pagadala,

 

No i tried either ways i.e. zooming in /out, the component still appears black. I don't understand why this happens ?. Anyways, if you find any solution regarding this problem please do share with me.

 

Thank you.

Since this is happening with all models, the issue could be with the graphics card.

 

Here is a similar issue,
