Is it possible to assemble different meshed parts into same part in hypermesh?
Altair EmployeeI'm preparing model of a large pressure vessel. The model is done in CATIA V5R21. The problem is the CATIA file is 62mb and Hypermesh hangs to import it. I cannot reduce the file much smaller as it is already reduced from 90mb to 62mb. I'm thinking of making the vessel into two parts and meshing it separately and assembling it in hypermesh and then to volume mesh the interior. I'm going to perform a CFD analysis on this vessel which has a dia of 5400mm and length of 17000mm. Is it possible to do this way in Hypermesh?.
Thanking YOU

Hi Sriram.2729,
Try splitting up the model into two CAD models and try importing one after the other in HyperMesh.
Thank you

If you have some issue with Catia CAD, try to import from STEP format.
Yes, you can assembly & work without any problem within Hypermesh.

Even after breaking the model into 4 parts, each part was 20mb and hypermesh took 40mins approx for each model to import. To trim, it took an additional 1hr. My system has i5 processor, more space, 32GB of ram, and graphics for 2GB

Just my curious question: is this your academic or industrial project? For the fiest purpose, we NOT need to do so big model.

This is my industrial project @Q.Nguyen-Dai. Everything went ok until now. I have problem in geometry cleaning surfaces. I merged all except some. These surface however when I try to merge either by self intersection or by toggle, system hangs and segmentation error occurs and everything collapses. I even tried clearing setting files but nothing worked yet. I need help in doing that because I can start meshing that soon.
Thank You
