how to export a deformed shape to hypermesh

Francesco_C

Hi i have a simulation of an airfoil being damaged by an object, i need to export the Hyperview damaged mesh to hypermesh so i can create something to export as a cad to be able to run cfd on it. 

I tried following steps from another forum post: "

• You need to first export deformed shape from HyperVIew (file > export > deformed shape)
• Import this file into HyperMesh 

but when it comes to export it i dont know what to select, the only thig that ive been able to export is a file ".dat" that when i try to open it on hypermesh displays "Warning:  Unsupported cards found in the I/O options section have been written as unsupported control card.
Summary:Feinput finished with 0 errors and 1 warnings."

It would be very helpfull if someone could give me a solution.

Hi Rajashri

i really tried all of this solutions but none of them worked. 

wich one is the .fem?

whatever i choose it saves as a .dat file, when i try to open it on hypermesh the only way to read it is using optistruct

and if i open it the result is :

if it matters im using a student edition.

 

thank u by the way for tryng to help me

You should select Optistruct/Nastran and save it with extension .fem.

Please try and see if this works.

Thanks

Hi Francesco,

You can use File-->Export-->Solver deck option and save the file as .fem.

Then you can import this .fem file in your original model. 

Next if you want to generate CAD, use FE->surface option available in hypermesh.

See the below image for export option.

Thanks

Thanks to your comment i found that the issue could be solved importing the FE model.

Thank u so much.
