Hyperworks 2017 files import

Hi everybody!

I'd like to know if it's possible to import in Hypermesh a CAD file (*.step, *.iges) from Rhino 3D with all my CAD layers and names (see picture 1)?

I've tried it but after importation, I only have a list of components 'brep_1' , 'brep_2', .... (see picture 2).

I'd like to get all my layers from CAD file with the right names and hierarchy.

Thanks in adavnce for your help!

Maybe, names are imported as 'metadata'

please enter pulldown menu Geometry > Metadata To CAE

confirm if any metadata contains part name.

Thanks for your answer Tinh . Effectively, no part name appears in the 'Metadata To CAE' dialog box.

Can you find it in STEP file?

if no name is in step file, obviously you have to check your cad software first.

No STEP nor IGES support layer feature.

Effectively, I need a file format which could export my layer names and groups from Rhino 3D. I'm looking for that. To be continued!

BTW, thanks all for your answers!
