Export Marc 3D input deck

Hello,

 

I'm having trouble exporting meshes from HM as Marc 3D input decks.

Despite checking the box 'Export in extendet format', a standad marc-file is created, which is limited to a node-ID field length of 5.

Exporting a mesh with more than 100k nodes leads to fields exceeding the field length, which results in a broken file.

Is there a way to sucessfully create a marc-file in extended format (node-ID field length of 10) for larger meshes?

The problem initially occured with HM-Version 12.0 but is still not solved after updating to Version 14.0.

 

Kind regards

    I did not see the problem in v14.0

    after ticking checkbox 'export in extended format' , turn to model browser, did you see a card named 'EXTENDED' ?

    If you don't see it, enter panel Analysis>control cards => click on 'extended' card
