Hi
I try to export a model with 2 different components with mesh, but when I import it in Abaqus they are all in one part.
How can I import them as 2 different parts
Altair EmployeeHi
I use HM 2017.2 and Abaqus 6.13-4
I have a model with 2 components in HM. I used HM/ABAQUS standard 2D. I exported my model as *.inp file but when I imported it in ABAQUS it combined 2 components into 1 part instead of 2 parts
Hi I found what is the problem with this error.
The topic is old but the problem remains (I use 2021.2)
Spend an hour to resolve - so maybe other users will find this hint useful 
Your model may be fine.
Problematic is a dot "." inside a .inp file
when you change it to "vol001" instead of "vol001.1" (or anything else) but without that dot import in ABAQUS will be fine.
When this is happend.
During a creating many components in HyperMesh Components the name with "." may appear.
So just change the name in HyperMesh and remove the dot.
'STL' is NOT FE meshing !!!
Start your profile with Abaqus within Hypermesh and begin to make your mesh on it.
