Save the STEP file with mesh in the hypermesh as an ABAQUS file

I will import the STEP file from hypermesh, perform a mesh operation, export it to ABAQUS, and then try to work in the ABAQUS program.

But the models were not fully exported.
When I get it from the ABAQus program, not all models are available, so what should I do?

I did volume tetra mesh.

In my step,
1. Imported the spine model and cage model in step file into hypermesh.
2. Perform volume tetra mesh operations on each model
3. Other tasks are directed from 'import geometry' to 'ABAQUS' for the Abacus program.(Export)
4. I checked the 'ABAQUS' program and found no models with mesh.

    Here's work flow with Hypermesh to build Abaqus model:

    • Work within Abaqus profile of Hypermesh
    • Build mesh
    • Assign properties
    • Export solver desk (Abaqus) into *.inp

    INP Abaqus is ascii format file. So you can check directly your nodes/elements within this file.
