Hello,

 

I am trying to extract the midsurface of the model but it takes a lot of time and after a while says memory is full.

I need the geometry as it is because it is part of my crash setup and this is the main profile under Investigation. I need to convert it into 2D for Shell Elements.

What should I do? 

Please help!

 

Kind Reagrds,

KJ

    Wow, it's a very big CAD model. Even with small part of this CAD, Hypermesh can't extract mid-surface.

    So the only way is try to understand construction logic and build directly mid-surfaces.

    Good luck!

    Here's the pattern of your mid-surface:
