problem when I import .csv file to generate virtual bushing

Hello,

My goadl is to create virtual bushing by importing .csv file in Simsolid

My fastener.csv file contains the following data :

X,Y,Z,Diameter,Stiffness linear X,Stiffness linear Y,Stiffness linear Z,Stiffness angular X,Stiffness angular Y,Stiffness angular Z,Coordinate system id

How can I proceed ? because it does not work.
How and when can I import in the model the coordinate system (with .csv) used in the bushing definition ?

Thank you !!

I found that 10^9 is not a right format. 10.E+9 is accecpted.
But now I have a problem with the format of csv file to import the local coordinate system definitions. I can't find the help.

Hi Lise,

I am attaching the screenshot for your reference. This is how we should create the Excel. LCS (local coordinate system)

But it does not work. I can import coord system definition with csv but the coord are not as in hyperworks...
I extact from HW the coord definition with matrix browser option. (this step create my csv file)

I import the csv in simsolid... and the result is not the same.

In SimSolid we must specify the direction of X and Y axis of LCS, as shown in the screenshot above
