Sir
I have tried both options and it is showing the same error again.


Hello Sauravkh,
When you import .STEP or .HM file it will ask you for meshing option
did you Turn ON the meshing option???
if yes then what element size you have given??


1. Importing the step file into Motion View.
2. It opens into Hypermesh.
3. I did the 2d- auto mesh and after completing the auto mesh.
4. I clicked on Utility- Save and quit.
Then it shows the error
H3D file not generated.
Node exceeds more than 100000.


you are doing correct way
you have to increase element size in order to decrease number of nodes
You are using Student version so it has some limitation you cannot save or import model with more then 100000 nodes
Try to increase Element size and it will work, if not working Let me know




I have increased the element size around 5 times than previous but same error is there again.




Try different size for different component and keep it below 100000 nodes
you can count nodes from Tools>count


You need Small element size where component is small and there is no need to mesh big component with small element for motinView
You Have only 100000 nodes so you have to distribute it properly in component
See Below Picture and Try to Understand




Sauravkh,
Option 1:
Please copy your Step file to another folder and open in the same way (When it will create .H3D Graphic file there)
Option 2:
Import STEP file in Hypermesh and Save it as .HM File and open .HM file instead of .STEP file
If you are still facing any problem please Let me know
