Extruding 2D mesh in hypermesh 2023

Hello @Sunil Chadha ,

Extrusion of 2D elements for generating 3D elements should not be needed anymore in 2023, as we introduced a couple of versions ago a new feature called Thin Solid:

https://learn.altair.com/mod/scorm/player.php?a=670&currentorg=articulate_rise&scoid=1750

Regarding your hidden elements, you can switch idle mode (selector top left in the graphic area) to Elements, then right click -> Show (or Shortcut "A"). Does that help to retrieve them?

Best Regards,

Michael

Hello Michael,

I have tried using the thin solid tool but it does not produce a useful mesh, the best way would be for me to drag this mesh. Is this feature still available within hypermesh 2023?

Thankyou for the suggestion, when I retrieved the session they were all displayed again.

Hello @Sunil Chadha ,

may I ask you some details about what is not satisfying in the current thibn solid implementation. Such feedback are importqnt for us, ibn order to enhance HyperMesh.

That said, to drag 2D elements, you can go to Topology -> Offset and you will be able to extrude your 2D mesh

Hope that helps,

Michael

This is the outcome of the thin solid tool 

The extrude feature is not giving a great mesh either to be honest.

Hello agin,

the result seems odd and unexpected to me. If you are authorized, please feel free to share ytour CAD with Uus through a support request so that we can investigate why you get such result

Hello Michael,

I dont think I will be able to share the CAD.

Hello Michael

I have managed to get an extrude function to work as I would like, I am creating this mesh for Ansys CFX and cannot see how I can create the named selections in the new 2023 interface.

hello @Sunil Chadha ,

what are you referring to when speaking about named selections?

Do you have examples from former versions?

Hello Micheal,

In previous versions it was analysis settings -> entity sets.
