Analysis of Orphan Mesh

User: "Altair Forum User"

Hello

I have an orphan mesh that I imported from CT scan data through Avizo. I was wondering if I could define the materials, properties, loads etc for the mesh itself without creating any geometry because creating geometry manually won't be possible on this data.

 

PS : I created a 2D tri surface in Avizo and converted it into 3D tetra mesh in Hypermesh.

    Yes, you dont need geometry

    Just create PSOLID property and material then assign them to the component

    I proceeded as you told but I am getting the following error during analysis-

    'CTRIA3 element number 1 references a missing property ID 1 or uses property of incorrect type for this element type'

     

    I have attached the model image for reference.

    CTRAI is a 2D element type and assigning a PSOLID property to the same is not valid.

     

    If 2D elements in your model are not necessary, delete the same and try again.
