Issues with Exporting Generated Solid Geometry from Hypermesh to CAD

Hi,

I am new at using Hypermesh and I am trying to use it to convert enclosing surfaces that I created in AutoCAD to a solid via the Boundary Solid Option. I got to clean the geometry file and getting rid of free edges and generate the Solid in Hypermesh. However, when I try to export this solid geometry as a STEP file and open it in AutoCAD, the resulting exports turns out to be a single surface instead of a solid. Is there any way I can export this resulting geometry as a solid?

have you tried exporting other open formats, such as parasolid?

Hi Adriano,

Thanks for your comment. I tried exporting via Parasolid format but it did not work either. Once Hypermesh is done exporting the file, it displays "Entity Combined with Units outside Parasolid Modeller limits; check units and dimensions for good results". Please refer to the attached snapshot for my export parameters.

For context, I am trying to model an ancient historical structure, which explains the fact that the geometry has large dimensions. I need to export the solid geometry for visual comparison purposes and for later use of the solid to add/ edit features in AutoCAD.

Do you think there might be another way to achieve this? Thank you so much for your help!
