Hey guys,

I have a problem importing fem files into hypermesh. Somehow, nothing appears whenever I click import. The file is fem and I'm using optistruct. I want to view the results of the optimization once it was finished in hypermesh.

Any help?

Thanks!

    You must be in the correct template before importing the .fem file.

    If you are in the wrong template, although you select to import bulk data fem file, there could appear some error.

    Hi! Thanks for replying! How would I change a template? Is a template the same as user profile? I made sure that I'm using optistruct for my user profile and am in Hypermesh when importing the fem file. But, it's still not working image/emoticons/default_sad.png' alt=':(' srcset='/emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>

    Does this importing fem file received from an optimization (using optistruct) only works for hyperworks 11 and not 10?

    Describe/post (part of) the content of the .fem you want to import.
