Analysis of Orphan Mesh
Altair EmployeeHello
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.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Confirm property assigned to comp or not

Yes. the property is psolid and the property is assigned to the component
I attached the model file. Please look at it

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.
