Is it possible to import 2014 solidworks sketch to Hypermesh of a previous version?

Altair Forum User

Hey guys,

 

Im having troubles while importing sketches from SolidWorks 2014 to HyperMesh and Abaqus CAE.

 

Is it possible to import a Solidworks 2014 sketch to a 2012 Hypermesh? Already tried IGS and SDLPRT. 

 

While in Abaqus CAE the file is opening with 'parts' options, in Hypermesh isnt even importing.

 

Though Im not being able to create any mesh or any of the avaiable options.in Abaqus

 

Do you guys know what should I do? Im gonna have to remake my sketch in a 2012 or earlier version of SolidWorks to run in a 2012 Hypermesh Version?

 

Thanks!!

Hypermesh can import a lot of geometrical formats /emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'> See screenshot.
