I am trying to do analysis on .hm model using hmabaqus only confused as to what input and output files must be. I have no abaqus program or results. I just wanted to obtain the results in hypermesh using hmabaqus solver. Basicallly my .hm model has adhesive in it and I have been told that optistruct cannot really do analysis on this but Abaqus can. Since i have no program like that or any idea how to set up the same model as the .hm one I already have, I thought I might be able to use hmabaqus. But so far I just have no idea how.

    hmabaqus is not a solver, but a results translator which converts ABAQUS .fil file to HM results file for postprocessing in HM. It is not used often anymore since HyperView can directly open ABAQUS .odb files.
