Option for Geometry Modification within fem and cad file in hyepermesh

yash201

Description: I have a query about HyperMesh. I'm currently stuck at a point where I need to modify my geometry for iteration purposes. My current approach involves importing the modified CAD file, meshing it again, and then replacing the original geometry with the modified one. However, this process is quite lengthy and may in the loss of contacts, SPCs, or applied forces. I'm looking for a simpler and more efficient way to handle this. Is there an alternative method that avoids these issues?"

Hi,

I think you can use replace option.

you can update the mesh in separate hm and export the updated mesh, after that you can replace the component with new mesh. But here you need to check contacts w.r.t updated mesh. sometimes it will work and sometimes contacts will not work properly.
