How to set element offset for composite in hypermesh
Altair EmployeeI create a composite model which contains element offset in Patran/Nastran.When I import bdf in hypermesh, then I use 'card edit' to modify one of the elements. There is no information in Offsets(see first picture attached) ,but It really has offset values which is the same as I set in Patran/Nastran.Can you tell me why.And How can I set element offset except using card edit panel to modify element.

Hello
a way to check is to open bdf file by a text editor and verify whether offset values exist or not
if they're existing I think hypermesh will import them correctly unless your Hm version was not updated

Thank you very much!! Your method will change the position of element selected while I want to give element offsets without changing its position.I have found that Z0 in PCOMP card can
realize this function.
