Solid hole and washer
Altair EmployeeHi all,
I need some help about washer feature in HyperMesh. I have a solid with a hole, imported into HyperMesh from CATpart file. Is it possible to create a washer around this hole?
I did some effort, but in the autocleanup file, HyperMesh gives option for washer only in surface holes.
If I try to create washer around the hole after meshing the face containing the hole (from Utility -> Geom Tools -> Washer) by selecting the lines at the mouth of the solid hole, HyperMesh shows an error: The selected line is not a free edge.
Certainly, this line is a shared edge between the surface of the face and the surface of the solid hole, therefore: does it mean that HyperMesh washer is only for surface holes?

You can try this
Go to Geo panel - Quick edit panel (F11) - Select washer option and give the offset value. Now select the line of the whole. It will create waher of specified dia on surface of the solid

Hi Mubeen
Sure, washer creation is for surface holes
You can detach the surface inside hole so you get 2 free-edge at top and bottom of hole, make washer for those 2 free-edge and map 2D washers to get 3D washer
