Replace geometry doesn't work

Hi,

I am using Hyperstudy 2025, Inspire 2025, EDEM 2025 and EDEM-Hyperstudy connector 2025.

I have been using this guide:

In part 2 they created a parameterized stl file that I have done as well. The only difference is that I combined all parts in Inspire so I didn't have to use the mesh lines in the python code because that didn't work for me. So now Hyperstudy creates a new stl file with the new parameters. I have replaced the geometry manually with the new stl file in EDEM and that works but when I try to do it in Hyperstudy as they do with rgconfig.txt it doesn't work and the simulation will not run. If I don't write —rg rgconfig.txt -R in the EDEM opts the simulation will run. When i try to replace geometry with —rg rgconfig.txt -R this comes up in the task_exe_stdout.txt:

"Check the value entered for the element size - couldn't convert to a numberGeometry replacement failed."


Is there a solution for this?

    Hi @Karl_H,

    Solver related errors are written in the task_exe_stdout file & HyperStudy related errors are written in the task_exe_stderr file (if any).

    Based on the error written in the task_exe_stdout file, it is related to either Inspire or EDEM.

    Colleagues @Stephen Cole from EDEM @Kosuke_IKEDA from Inspire should be able to suggest on the error.

    Also, for timely response, it is recommended to either mail the query on hwsupport@altair.com or create a support case using Altair One.

    Many thanks.

    Kind Regards

    Hi, regarding the inspire error can you make sure the path to inspire is in the EDEM-HyperStudy connector preferences:

    Hi, sadly replace geometry still didn't work. It still says:
    Check the value entered for the element size - couldn't convert to a number
    Geometry replacement failed.

    That suggests it's related to what is set in the rgconfig.txt file (4 mins 40 in the video). You could always check it runs EDEM only with the replace geometry option to check the settings:

    This is what is written in the rgconfig.txt file which is as they did in the video:
    Section1 # dummy # Test.stl # m # Steel # n

    Just to update. I solved the issue with writing in the config.txt:

    Section1 # dummy # Test.stl # m # Steel

    Looks like the 2025 version is a little different.
