Import Model
Import all data required for the Squeak and Rattle Analysis preparation.
You can import a model file as a Solver Deck (.fem) or a HyperMesh Database file (.hm). You can import and restore a previous session with existing E-Lines.
You can import a DTS file containing predefined Gap and Tolerance values for all the interfaces to evaluate and a Material Database file with compatibility data from Stick-Slip tests. If a material database file is unavailable, you can connect to Ziegler Material Database.
- For a new model, you can start the E-Line Setup.
- For a model with existing E-Lines, all previously created E-Lines will be visible in the model.
- If a model contains existing E-Line(s), you have an option to
restore E-Lines information from a pre-output
CSV file or from the data stored in the file itself.
The latter option is only available for .hm files. Restriction: Existing E-Lines in a Solver Deck can not be restored without a pre-output CSV file, which can only be created at Export. Ensure to save the progress in the .hm file.
Import Options
Description of various Import options.
- Model File
- The user-defined DTS data is imported, and you can map an Interface Name
to the corresponding E-Line in Manage E-line.
Supported file formats are:
- *.hm: HyperMesh models.
- *.fem: OptiStruct solver decks.
- DTS File
- The user-defined Material database is imported, and you can map material to corresponding squeak lines in manage E-Lines.
- Material File
- A Material file is a
*.csv
file containing the user-created material stick-slip data.
