Elements ID matching

Altair Forum User

Hi all,

I have a question regarding Elements ID matching. I have two identical 3d hex meshed model. I know we can easily match node ID's using 'Equivalence' option, but is there an option making also for elements?

Thanks,

Hamdi

Hi hamdib.

Did you mean duplicate elements?

Thanks

Hi Pranav,

Actually no. For two identical hex elements, if node IDs are same, and element IDs are different they are duplicate elements. I am trying to make same element IDs, but I believe it is not possible with our common methods.

Thanks,

Hamdi

Hi hamdib.

All IDs in HyperMesh are unique (nodes, elements, components, properties, materials). You cannot use the same IDs for 2 elements.

Don't understand why you want it but try menu Preferences>Mesh Options>Allow Duplicated IDs
