Importing lattice optimised models into 3-matic
Altair EmployeeHi,
I've successfully created a model optimised using lattice capabilities in HyperMesh. The model contains areas of solid and lattice structures. I am attempting to export this into 3-matic and convert to an .stl file.
The first process I tried was:
Exporting the lattice HM file to .fem with a Filetype= Optistruct and Template=Long.
I imported the .fem file into 3-matic using the remesh module.
This worked well for the first time I used 3-matic and showed the lattice clearly.
I am now trying again and the lattice is not showing at all in 3-matic, even with the exact file that worked the first time.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Altair EmployeeHi,
is there something like a tutorial for the steps within 3-matic?
I'm trying to prepare a lattice optimized .fem file for 3d-printing.
thanks in advance!
best regards

I was trying to export STL file of the lattice generated and optimised model so that it could be opened with 3-matic where the smoothening can be done! However every time the file is exported it shows file size of 0 kB whereas other formats like nastran is exporting just fine.
Altair EmployeeHi Lakshya,
I replied to the same question to the post you created.
Altair EmployeeHi JuGau,
Please refer to attached PDF
Hi Prakash,
I need to export lattice optimized results to CAD for 3-D printing. Is it possible to do with OSSmooth?
We have Hypermesh-Optistruct licenses. Do we need to purchase 3-Matic license separately for lattice export capability?
Altair EmployeeHi CHandrasekhar,
You can output to Stl file or any other CAD formats for 3D printing.
Please get in touch with 3-Matic for more information on supported CAD formats.
Something would be wrong in 3 matic. Close session and try again.If it worked earlier then it should work now also.
