when I need to separate the model into multiple include files, and one sub file will contain the nodes information of another, so when I input the whole model, there will be million warnings shows that the model have duplicated nodes.

    Hi @Cassie Zhou

    What are all included in the include files?

    It would be better if you share the warning messages screenshot.

    Looks like node IDs from both include files are imported and this is causing the issue. 

     

    HyperMesh will modify the node IDs in such case.

    I mean when I export the model file using the settings 'Displayed' , but the file is much larger than my model looks like, and when I opened it in notepad, there will be a lot of GRID data that not attached to the mesh, I don't know why it happens. and I wanted to delete the GRID data that irrelevant.

    Maybe, they are preserved nodes. Enter panel analysis>preserved nodes and clear all of them
