Hello,
I'm new here, I hope my posting is appropriate!
Currently I'm trying to set-up my project and importing geometry from STEPs. I created the geometry myself with CATIA v5. When I import it in HW (HyperMesh... HyperWorks) then I get strange connecting lines with dots. It looks like these dots are not 'nodes'.
Here is a screenshot of a few examples, I hope it's clear:

Can anyone what these nodes are?
Do they affect my analysis?
How can I get rid of them?
Thanks a lot and have a good weekend,
Dave
