    Hi when we export model from hypermesh, the important think we must keep in mind is unit.

    1. I am assuming that you exported whole model but its of very small size.

    So you simply while exporting has to do is: In export option's dimension toggle for mm or other unit you want.( At moment i guess its in micron thats why very small size of file).

    2. Hypermesh export option for geometry can only work if there is surface/geometry in model but not FE.( However you can convert FE model first in geometry and then export)

    3. Make sure in exports option, export option is all. If you want to export whole model.
