Node connectivity

Hello there,

My name is Pravin. I have a limited/ no experience in Hypermesh. I have been assigned an academic task of simulating Induction heating process in Abaqus. I have problems in generating mesh in Abaqus because the parts are quite complex. So I tried to export it in Hypermesh and tried to mesh the parts. Individually I am able to mesh the parts with tetra elements but there is no connectivity between the nodes of the two regions. I have attached the screen shot of the parts that should be meshed. Please help me in getting around this problem. Any help in this regard is appreciable.

Thank you,

Regards,

Pravin

In hypermesh using 2d to 3d approach you can have proper connectivity.try to have same mesh for two interconnected regions.Also you can use Altair simlab for such cases.

Without the HM model, that's impossible to help you.

Thank you very much for your reply Rahul.R and Nguyen-Dai.

@Rahul R As i am very new to hypermesh I am not able to grab the point made by you clearly and also I dont have access to SimLab. If you dont mind can please elaborate the suggestion you made in your previous comment. Thanks in advance.

@Nguyen-Dai and @Rahul R Please find the hypermesh file attached with this comment. Looking forward to your help. Thanks to both you guys.

Hi there,

It sounds like the imported CAD model is just composed by surface regions rather than volumes. To make sure that that is the case, open your file in your CAD software and make a cross section of the bodies. FEA solvers need the volume bodies rather surfaces regions in order to compute properly the solution.

Hope this comment helps!
