Hello, I have a trouble with node transfer.

I was modeling in CATIA as lots of nodes, and I want to transfer the nodes from CATIA to hyperworks.

When I transfer the nodes to hyperworks (igs file), it is not work as a node. just a point.

there's no x,y,z coordinate and I can't select the nodes.

It takes a lot of time to stamp the nodes by myself.

Is there any way to transfer the nodes from CATIA to hyperworks directly?

Thank you.

Do you mean FE nodes?

Not sure about CATIA FE nodes and the supported formats for the same.

HI,

Go to Create nodes panel (shortcut is F8) and select On Geometry option. Select all points by double-clicking on Points selector and select ALL... Click create.

This will create nodes on selected points.
