How do you export a CAD file from HyperMesh?

Hello,

I'm having trouble exporting a .hm file. When I try to export the "Geometry Model" in a STEP format, I get a pop-up message "Unable to export file" with no other explanation. The only way I managed to export it was as a .h5 file wich none of my CAD programs seem to recognize. 

 

Any suggestions?

    Hello Yannick Schwesinger,

     

    as a first thought, this may come from:

    - either an unsupported character in your filenme (absolute path)

    - or from a HyperMesh session that has not been run correctly under Linux. When launching HyperMesh from the command shell, you must not run

    cd /opt/altair/2021/altair/scripts

    ./hm

    but

    cd user_directory (a directory where you have the rights)

    /opt/altair/2021/altiar/scripts/hm

     

    Best Regards,

    Michael Herve
