Problems with mesh transferring from HW to SimLab

My purpose is building a highest quality hex mesh in hyperworks by using its unique customization tools but when it comes to the fe modelling of bolts,welds,bearings; simlab takes the lead. Consequently, I tried to transfer a solid mesh which is created in hw, to the simlab as .hm format; import is failing in simlab. Also other transferring way .fem format however breaks up the fe model as shown in the picture below.

Please check if your model has the pentahedron elements type different than CPENTA.

If so please update the element type for CPENTA and export into the *fem and attempt to read again in Simlab.

I hope this is helpful.

There are no any penta elems in my model sir. I've just realized that some duplicated elems exist. I guess had ticked the reflect two times. Accordingly, appeared 'questionable connectivity' issue. Because of that .fem model was containing all the elems except questionable connectivity ones. Now .fem model is perfect after deleting those duplicates. But I'm still wondering the reason behind why .hm import is not simply possible and failing?
