Import problem from Hypermesh and LS DYNA

Hi,

Can you please share the file which you were trying to import in prepost?.

Hello,

Thanks. You prefer it as keyword (ls dyna) or hm file or fem file? thanks again

Hello, I have attached fem file and keyword file. both are same models.Yet, when you open them using Hypermesh and LS Prepost respectively but the elements being shown are different.

Hi,

Instead of .k as extension keep it as .nas (manually rename the extension)  and try opening in prepost, thatis 10.nas

Thanks very much. it works but the shell elements of different components fall under the same feature tree when i opened it in ls prepost or primer. is that normal or should i make changes to the model in HM before exporting as NASTRAN input file?

Hi,

The model created in HyperMesh seems fine and this issue  seems to be related with LS prepost. I suggest you to contact their support team.

OKay. i will see to that. Thanks very much,

Hello

I suppose its not something that has to do with lsprepost. because it doesnt work on Oasys primer. and this problem doesnt occur when hypermesh v13 is used and same versions of ls prepost and oasys primer.

Thanks
