    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

    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.

    @sauravkh

    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

    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
