HYPERWORKS 2022 ( Student Edition) OptiStruct Mesh Failure

Issue : Mesh Failure on imported .x_t file from OnShape . Do not know reason why ? see attached

Simple beam-Trial performed just to mesh one face prior to meshing an entire assembly ; ;Beam appears to have surface and solid properties Reviewed all tutorials still have issue- any assistance appreciated

Mentor on a FRC team ( retired engr) and some what familar with CAD/CAE

I can send the file if that would help

Please keep in mind parasolid files are in meters. Make sure you are using an appropriate mesh size for that part size or scale the part itself

Thanks for the reply next issue

Able to mesh and add constraints and loads ( trial and error method )see attached A fem file is generated ; If' stress , displacements and contours resulted ; I can find no report out visual (graphic)or tabular indication (using the ribbon task )of any results like I can in Inspire

I'm doing sometime wrong or for Hyperworks student edition is that a limitation

I'm lost

Where \ how can I get CAE readout on the model Sorry I know the model is not pretty just using it as a test model ( Cad -On shape )

Are you looking for how to contour/query results?

You can use Hyperview or HMPOST (Post ribbon directly in Hypermesh)

You may want to take a look at some intro trainings
