Hi,

I’m preparing a model for LSDYNA in HYPERMESH 14.0 and for creating an interface between two bodies I’m unable to find XTRANODE card in ANALYSIS>INTERFACE>TYPE option which was available in HYPERMESH 13.0. What to do now for creating an interface between them?

    Hi @Shahbaz Multani

     

    Do you mean *constrained_extra_node?

     

    If not, can you share the card from Dyna?

    I have taken some pictures from Hypermesh 13.0 of the XTRANODE which I’m unable to find in my version of Hypermesh 14.0

    The path of this XTRANODE is ANALYSIS>INTERFACE>TYPE>XTRANODE

    ExtraNode is a new entity type in HM v14 & later, so it does not belong to 'Group' entity any more
