Import

Import models to HyperWorks session.

The first step in the SnRD Pre is to import the required model to the HyperWorks X session. Using the Import feature, you can import the following file types-
  • .ZMAP, .DAT- ZMap
  • .TS- TSurf
  • .SM- Solid Models
  • .SO
  • .LAS
  • .CSV- Point/Node Cloud
  • .STL
  • .DXF
Tip: Use the standard HyperWorks File Open option to load or import HyperMesh (.hm), IGES and many other file formats supported by core HyperMesh.
