Orphan nodes?

I have a large model that I have many assemblies that I can turn on and off via entity state browser.

 

On my model when i turn off a particular assembly, by off I mean both turning off both active state and export state, and then export my solver deck (in this case LS-Dyna) Hypermesh is writing out all of the nodes for the assembly that is switched off.

 

The nodes are written out but not the elements? Why is it writing out these nodes at all as export state is off?

 

If there are orphan nodes in my model for some reason is there a way to clean the model?

 

When I turn the assembly's export state back on and export it it exports perfectly well and there re no additional orphan nodes (I check this in LS-Prepost).

 

What is going on?

 

Thanks.

 

Rich.

    hi,

    did you set export options to 'custom' ?

    or you should update to hm11 or 12
