HI all,

 

I am examining one of my .dat file which i exported from HM.

 

Image attached below is an example of my quality criteria. 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>image.thumb.png.3ee8869d6e9ec9313fd8eb74ad0c75f1.png

 

From the above, i need to Warpage, Aspect Ratio, Skew, Lengths, Angles (all 4)

Instead of checking the element quality from HM, is there any options to find the 2D element quality from .dat file.

 

 

Thanks,

Prabhu P

    Import your .dat file into Hypermesh & do Quality checks?

    Could you explain reasons you have to check quality from dat file without importing?

    Hi Nguyen,

    At present we are making the checks using HM. But we are trying to read the .dat file and extract the possible data.

    Tinh,

     

    We are in a process of making Quality check using some automated forms.

    In the previous topic: RBE2 element length, we used your command and made some quality checks using excel automation.

     

    While working on that, we thought of exploring .dat file for checking the Element Quality details. Its a process of learning the .dat file.
