Hypermesh 2017 - Beam Collector Issues

Hi,

 

I am running Hyperworks 2017 and have run into an unusual issue. When I state a beam section greater than 32mm diameter, I run into issues when re-importing. Please find attached a screenshot of the issue. On the left is the hypermesh session used to make the file and the right is the hypermesh session importing the .fem. You can see on the left that the  beam section 2000003 is specified with radius of 25mm... however on the right, a warning has appeared stating that PBAR dimensions are different from the section (which is odd as the PBAR section properties come from the beam section). Section 2000003 is missing on the left hand import session and replaced with 2000004 with a name matching the property name. Also the section is no longer ROD, now it is a Generic section.

 

After some investigation I found this error occurs with sections greater than 32mm diameter in the beam section.

 

My previous installation did not have this issue so I can only put this down to an issue with the new version.

 

Please help!!!

 

Kindest regards

Andy

    Hi Andy,

     

    This is a know issue with 2017 and our Dev team is working on it. 

     

    I will check if there is any workaround for this.
