Hi all,

I have created in CAD program a turbine blade, then I have imported it to Hypermesh in .step format. Now I need to create shell model and export it to LS - Dyna. So at the beginning I have created surfaces based on imported model and I made 2D element mesh but it doesn't connect. Is it any possibility to connect mesh on attached figure?

    1. Never send TIF image for web. Use JPG or PNG please!
    2. If you want a connected mesh, you have to have connected surfaces. So work on your surfaces before meshing.

    So is it any tool to connect this surfaces with 2D elements? I have tried with autocleanup (I have found on this forum that it may help) but it still doesn't work.
