After searching around online and in HyperWorks help, I can not find where the tool to update the source files for plots in a HyperGraph session is in the new interface. In the old interface it was under Tools>Replace Filenames, but this menu no longer exists. Thanks, Chris
Hi, my work is related to test collision areas in biological tissues such as tooth enamel. I created the surface of the dental tissues and imported them into Hypermesh. Following, I generated the 3D models filling those with first order tetrahedral elements. I ended up with a 13 million meshes (adding all the tissues). I…
Hi there, How to get legendscalar minValue element in the Python prompt, when model is already open in the HV window ? I tried (based on doc https://help.altair.com/hwdesktop/pythonapi/hyperview/hw_hv.html#hw.hv.legendscalar.LegendScalar.minValue): >>> legendscalar.minValue…

Hello, I have a question about converting 2D faces that I've extracted from 3D elements into a solid. I've tried using the FE Geometry option under Topology to convert the elements, but I'm facing an issue. When I convert each of the three phases (colors) into a solid one by one, parts of the same phase are getting…
Ski season is almost here, marking the return of shredding with your friends and family, cozying up in the lodge, and the smell that permeates your apartment after many weekends of not properly drying your gear. I decided to take action on the third, starting with my ski mittens. There are various off-the-shelf options for…
Hi. I have 30 years of FEMming experience (aerospace). And I simply do not get how the midsurfacing of a seemingly very simple, thin part thwarts the extraction of midsurface so stubbornly. I tried breaking up the bends in the following structure to help it along possibly, but no won't do. I played with max R/T and…
I have applied a time signal(Gaussian pulse) on an aperture and I am to obtain the near field behavior. I am unsure if there is an error with the sampling or anything else. I am attaching my postfeko file here.
Hi all, I have come across an error message that I can not resolve by myself. A project export to an MS Excel (.xlsx) file worked properly until the end of 2016. Since then it won't export to the same file and gives the message ""Insufficient available rows (0) to expand table." The excel file counts less than 8000 rows.…
I was looking for a sample deck for Non-linear thermal analysis
Hello, I have this problem: When I install the Master Installer of Hypermesh, it installs correctly, but when I open it, the loading screen appears as expected, and then nothing happens. Once the loading is complete, it doesn’t do anything, and nothing else opens. It happens with hw2024.1_win64.exe and with…
Hello everyone, I currently trying to modelize a kind of train. I have a wagon model that I would like to export and re-import several times in a "master" model. I already have done it years ago with an old version of Motionsolve and a different model, but today I'm facing troubles when re-importing I tried several way of…
I'm following tutorial video for optimization. Defined few values using data sets from motionview and define gravity(only for import not active). And get output response using edempy_post.py In the setup the co-simulate work well. but, in Doe or optimization the changing of values in motionview didn't work. How can I fix…
Hi! I've been experiencing some issues recently where the .igs file that I have opened in hypermesh looks completely different from what I exported from CATIA. Has this happened to anyone else? I have tried using a .stp file instead, but the same issue occurs. I'm an altair hypermesh beginner, so any help would be greatly…
Hi, I imported a custom polyhedral particle into EDEM 2024.1 through a stl file by using the "Import Custom Particle Shape" option. The normal size distribution option for generating the particles gives an option to scale the particles through "Radius". Can you please confirm if this "Radius" is actually the largest…
I am currently performing a coupled fluid-structure analysis in RADIOSS. I would like to output the time history of the cross-sectional area and flow velocity at an arbitrary cross-section of the fluid (ex: surface 50mm from the inlet boundary, as shown in the image). How can I do that?
I am trying to generate a 15x15 rectangular patch array. I have started by using the component library and specifying a frequency for a single element. This single element runs. when I create a 4 x 4 array and change the properties of the substrate, change the Cuboid1 width (W) so that elements do not overlap, and run the…
Hello, I need to convert TIE contact from Optistruct into a similar contact for MSC nastran and export in bdf format. As far I understod, I created the contact surfaces with BSURF card, used that to create the contacts using BCONECT card, placed all this in a BCTABL1 card (with generic config). The thing I didn't get is…
Hi, I have been using insert elements to connect Shell Elements to Solid Elements. Sometimes, in order to check connectivity between those insert elements to the solid by taking Free edges. Today, while working in Hypermesh 2023, I am surprised to know that the free edges are formed although the nodes of insert elements…

Hello everyone I want to design a six-phase motor with winding configuration analysis and simulation of different types of faults. Can i design this in Flux motor and transfer it to Flux 2D for additional analysis? or is there another Altair product that can help me to archive this ? Thank You
Hi, We have an error when utilizing hm_compare API where the command doesn't provide accurate results in HyperMesh 2021 and 2022 versions. The same set of API commands seems to work properly at different times of execution. Kindly provide a solution on how to improve this variations for better execution of our scripts. The…
I'm doing an acoustic coupling analysis with OptiStrcut and the sound pressure values are negative. The analysis method I use is IE. Is it a correct result for analysis. Therefore, after conversion, the dB value is also a negative value.
