Import of a Hypermeshmodel in Abaqus

JELO

Hello,

I have got a question about the import of my Hypermesh-model in Abaqus. When I export my SolverDeck and I import the model (.inp) into Abaqus I cannot see the geometry of my model. I do not exactly know why. I would like to have a section for the crack surface as a shellsection and the whole other geometry should be a solid section. I will add my model here. I ask for help.

Sincerely

Justus

Howdy, 

 

This is the intended behavior. When you export the .inp for Abaqus, this is the solver deck. That means this will only contain finite element entities properties, grids, elements, loads, etc, and no geometry. You would need to export a neutral geometry file format like a step and import that into Abaqus. You should be able to import a solver deck and a geometry model in the same CAE deck. 

 

Hope this helps

Hello Brett,

thank you for your answer! Unfortunately, I could not import the solver deck. So I would like to import both, but the mesh and the loads ect. are more important. But if I export it as a solver deck to Abaqus I cannot even see the mesh. There is just nothing. Have you got an idea how to fix that problem?

I am a bit confused now. In your original questions, you stated you could load the solver deck into Abaqus without problems. Then, you say you were not able to do it. 

If when you export the solver deck, it will not import correctly into Abaqus this is a bigger issue. Please elaborate on what you are doing and what you are seeing, screenshots help with this.

You can check HyperMesh tutorials for process steps.

Hello,

You should be able to text edit the .inp deck itself to verify it contains elements/grids/loads. 
Check that first.

Hello,

thank you for your help. I think I didn´t explain the question that good. So the import of the solverdeck of my hypermesh model in Abaqus does not work. Here you can see the geometry with the mesh and loads and so on, that I would like to import (the mesh).

I added a material and a solid property for all the components:Now I would like to export the solverdeck in Abaqus:

Unfortunately I can´t see anything in Abaqus:

I already checked the input-file but I couldn´t find a mistake. I found the elements (C3D4) and materials ect.

Here I added the inp.-File

Seems like a good question for Abaqus support.
