    'STL' is NOT FE meshing !!!

    Start your profile with Abaqus within Hypermesh and begin to make your mesh on it.

    Hi

    I try to export a model with 2 different components with mesh, but when I import it in Abaqus they are all in one part.

     

    How can I import them as 2 different parts

    Hi

    I use HM 2017.2 and Abaqus 6.13-4

    I have a model with 2 components in HM. I used HM/ABAQUS standard 2D. I exported my model as *.inp file but when I imported it in ABAQUS it combined 2 components into 1 part instead of 2 parts

    Hi I found what is the problem with this error. 

    The topic is old but the problem remains (I use 2021.2) 

    Spend an hour to resolve - so maybe other users will find this hint useful :)

     

    Your model may be fine. 

    Problematic is a dot "." inside a .inp file

    when you change it to "vol001" instead of "vol001.1" (or anything else) but without that dot import in ABAQUS will be fine. 

     

    When this is happend. 

    During a creating many components in HyperMesh Components the name with "."  may appear.

    So just change the name in HyperMesh and remove the dot.
