All,

 

Please help me how to convert back my hm file to v12. Actually the original file was created and compatible to v12 but I suddenly opened it to version 13 hm. And now when I open the file back to version 12 hm this error occur ' NOT compatible '. I need to open this file back to version 12 because our default version is 12.

 

Please help! I need to open the file.

 

Respect,

 

Pamit

    Hi Pamit,

     

    Open the hm file in 12.0 in the respective user profile and export to a solver deck.

     

    Now, you can open this solver deck in 13.0 and can save it as a .hm file from 13.0

    Hi Pamit,

     

    Open the hm file in 13.0 and you can see Export option as shown below. Export your file (i.e. fem/k file) that will support in any versions and Import in 12.0 and save as hm file.
