Issue with Exporting Inspire Results to Evolve

User: "Erkan Kilic"

Hello,

 

I am willing to export the Inspire optimized shape to Evolve to continue working on it Evolve. To do this, I right-click on the optimized shape in Inspire 2018.2 Student Version  and then click on 'Save to Evolve'. When I do this, I see 'File Saved Successfully' message box. (See pictures below.)

Then, I open Evolve 2017-7305 Student Version and click on 'Retrieve From Inspire' button under Inspire tab. (See below picture)

However, I do not see anything to select in Inspire Shapes Browser. What is wrong with this? Any idea is greatly appreciated.

On my laptop, I have both Inspire 2018 and Inspire 2017 Student versions as well as Evolve 2017 Student version. I have this problem when try to export the shape from Inspire 2018 to Evolve 2017. And since I prepared the optimized shape in Inspire 2018 and Inspire 2017 is not opening Inspire files that are prepared in Inspire 2018, I am stuck with this issue. 

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks,

Erkan

    I am working though Inspire tutorials and I have the exact same issue. Where is the file saved when 'Save to Evolve' is used?

    In Inspire, save the model in STL format. Then open it in the Evolve.

    After exporting to Evolve using 'save to Evolve', try to found it in the following direction: C:\Users\(your user name)\Documents\Altair\2019.2 (or any other Inspire version)\Exchange\FromInspire

     

    Go to Evolve and try to 'open' or 'import' from the last direction mentioned.
