How to points globally in Inspire

Hi, I have a problem on my study case.

I've a solver deck in Hypermesh and a model in Altair inspire. On that solver deck I have many holes for screw but on my model in altair inspire I haven't (they sent me the files like this), If it's possible, how can I tranfer my points from Hypermesh to Inspire?

Alternatively I found all points with global coordinates and I can put my points manually but sketch can't refer my points globally but only with local references on my model.

There is a way to solve this problem?

I've also tried to import in altair a .csv file in utf-8 codification but it still doesn't working

Thanks for your replies.

    Hello @Francesco_Sidoli,

    I believe the quickest way would be to utilize the solver deck in HyperMesh and maybe export the geometry and import it to Inspire. If this doesn't work for you I would suggest to use the reference pontes for geometry tab and select Coordinates option.

    Then go to Sketch tab and use the Project tool.

    You'll need to pick a plane and then select the points that you want to be projected to this plane. After clicking apply you'll automatically be transferred to sketch. You can use circle and pick the projected points to draw the holes on this plane. Then use the Extrude tool from Geometry tab and the subtract option to remove the material.

    Hope this helps!

    Best regards,

    Ok I understand, in what type of file have I to export? how should I export that model considering I have both the points and the model in the solver deck?

    Hello @Francesco_Sidoli,

    actually I see that .fem file are also available for import so you can try importing this as is in Inspire. Otherwise here you can check all the Supported File Formats regarding geometry. Hope this helps!

    Best regards,
