Hypermesh multiple parts get combined when exporting mesh?

Kristi Marcus

Hi all,

I am using Hypermesh of Hyperworks 2020.1 to mesh my Geometry and eventually load them into Abaqus to do the simulation. (Export as .inp Input Deck)

I have a assembly with at 4 components at the detail of the simulation. Now when I meshed all to-be-exported parts and do the export, all the exported parts cannot be loaded as seperate parts but as a combined part. That's not really helpful, as I need to allocate materials, loads etc. pp.
I also checked with Ansys, same problem, so it seems to be some kind of setting in Hypermesh..

Really appreciate any help and thoughts!

Thanks in advance

have you created different properties for each part of your simulation?

Usually the external softwares break your parts by property assignment.

Just guessing...
