STL Import to Hypermesh V.11.0

Altair Forum User

Hello everybody /emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>

 

For a project work at my University I have to import two .STL-Files to my Hypermesh Student Version 11.0. 

In the Menu 'Import-SolverDeck' I can't find something like '.stl' format.. Can someone help me to import the STL-Files to my Hypermesh program? is there a special folder or directory, where the files should be?

 

 

Thank you!

I dont know about Student version of HW 11, but in my Non-student version of HW 12, STL can be imported under 'Import Solver Deck', not like Geometry. See my screenshot.

Thank you for your response Q.Nguyen-Dai /emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>

 

At my system, there isn't a option like in your picture.. 

 

When I start the software, I can decide between three Profile options. At my university, where we probably have a different license version, there are more user profiles to chose. Besides, at the university pc there is an option like in your picture - so there the import works without any problems.

 

Do I have to download another version or is it not possible to open .stl files with the student version?

Hello

try looking for stl reader at ...\hw\io\model_readers\feinput\...\stl.exe

you can use it with tcl command '*feinput' to read stl file

or if your stl file is not so big, you can write a tcl command that reads stl data and generate elements
