Hi prakash, i would like to compare cad model and its FEM file which was meshed separately... And now I need to combine both to compare, by importing FEM file into CAD model.....to verify they have captured important CAD model surfaces...

    Hi @kalaiselvan

     

    You can do it two ways:

     

    1) Import CAD in HyperMesh along with mesh and compare (FIle>>Import>> CAD)

    or

    2) Use Model Verification Director (MVD) which is separate module
