How HyperWorks Reading LS-Dyna Files with *Include or *Include_Transform

What are the rules for HyperWorks reading LS-Dyna decks having *Include or *Include_Transform? How many layers of Includes HyperWorks can read in? Does it consider the information such as node definitions in an Include file when reading another Include file in parallel with the Include file?

 

I have a master LS-Dyna file like below.

*Keyword

*Include_Transform

FIle_a

..

*Include_Transform

File_b

...

*End

 

In File_a, I include a file with nodal definition.

*Keyword

...

*Include_Transform

File_c

...

*End

 

In File_b, I have *DEFINE_COORDINATE_NODES using the nodes defined in File_c. HyperWorks could not find the nodes. How can I make these readable to Hyperworks?

 

Thanks.

    Hello,

    As in the solver, the reading file in HyperWorks is made by order of write -->

    File_a

             -> Include with nodal definition

    File_b

    File_c


    Your file_b research nodes that are not loaded because the file_c is loaded a the end of file_b loading.


    There is a need to the position of file_b and file_c in your master file?
