Altair EmployeeHi Tejas,
Thank you for reaching out.
Was the model originally created on a different computer/save location?
All external entities (Cad/csv/Flexbodies/etc) are saved in the .mdl by their path. This helps reduce the size of the file when saved. So when you open the model on a different computer, you will receive path not found errors.
If you open the model on the original computer/save location. Go to File -> Export -> Model -> Archive Model. This will save the model in a subfolder with all external entities included. Zip and share that folder when you change machines.

Hi Tejas,
It looks like your message window is reporting 15 error messages. If you look into those messages, I would assume they are pointing to CAD that it can no longer find. Perhaps a file path has changed recently or files have been moved. You can look at only the error messages by deselecting the warnings and info tabs (just click those tabs to turn off/on) and confirm if the directory issues are the cause.
Hope this helps!

Thank You so much Adam Reid for your valuable response.
Actually I found out that some files has been remove from desktop and kept in Recycle bin. I just restore all files and open the model again and now I can see all bodies and joints with my old saved simulations.

The model was created on same System and i tried exporting model but it did not work.I found out that some file has been remove from desktop and kept in Recycle bin. I just restore all files and open the model again and now I can see all bodies and joints with my old saved simulations.
Thank You Again.
