Hi, 

I want to know if there is any possibility to find CAD (surfaces/solids) holes. find the respective bolts and their specifications at the location.

 

Thanks

    Hello @ATLURI BHARATH KUMAR ,

     

    if you are using the new user interface (which I would recommend), you can use Features to auto-detect holes:

    Hope this helps,

    Is there any possibility to find 3D CAD holes and resepective bolts through scripting.

    Thanks in advance

    hello @ATLURI BHARATH KUMAR ,

     

    can you please provide more details about the automation you would like to set up. This would allow us to propose you the best strategy.

     

    Also, is there any chance you can upgrade soon to 2022.3 or above? We have from 2022.3 a feature called auto fastener which detects and create automatically a fastener at 3D holes, which can then be automated with command *CE_AutoCreateMatingConnectors

     

    Hope this helps,

    Michael

    I want to detect the bolts and their specifications at the respective holes in CAD.

    Then, I want to import FE bolt with the found specifications from local drive or if possible I want to create hex bolts according to the found specs for the mate holes. The FE bolt length should be according to the CAD bolts.

    Can you suggest any strategy for Hypermesh 2022.2

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Michael Herve,

    is there anyway to find the CAD bolt head, shank and nut specifications separately through script?

    Hello @ATLURI BHARATH KUMAR ,

     

    what would be the input you would rely on to determine factener specifications? Would that be the CAD shape,metadata, naming convention or other mechanism?

     

    Best Regards,

    Michael

    Hi

    @Michael Herve

    I am taking Bolt CAD Shape as a reference to import and fit the premodelled FE bolt. The bolt,washer and nut of CAD are in separate collectors
