FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Fix tool enables you to check and fix intersections, crossings and penetrations between components and intersect components
that are classified as Faults.
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.
Import Model
Importing model into session.
Use the Import option to import the above-listed model
formats to the session.
From the GeoD ribbon, I/O group, select Import
The GeoD-Import dialog is displayed:
Functions available in the GeoD Import
dialog are listed below:
File browser option
Remove All files in the list
Remove Selected files
Full File path of the selected file
File Type- GeoD identifies the selected file format. You can
also modify the value. Supported file types are:
T Surf
T Solid
Solid Model
ZMap
LAS
CSV
STL
DXF
The source unit type for the selected file- X,
Y and Z Units.
The
available options are:
Undefined
Meters
Feet
Miles
Status, displays the file import status.
The Import statuses
are:
Success;
File Imported Successfully;
Please define source units: This appears when you
have not defined unit values under X, Y, and Z
columns. A user message appears, click
Yes to continue, or
No to cancel.
Define the target unit system for the model.
Using this information and the per file/axis units defined in 6, the model
will be converted to have one consistent set of spatial units. The available
unit systems are:
As defined- default units of the model files, I.e. no spatial
scaling;
Meters
Feet
Miles
Select the options to merge components with same name into a single
component and to delete duplicates.
The available merge options are:
Do Not Merge;
To Part;
To Component.
Optional: Select Create mesh from lines.
Enter the expected output mesh size.
Click Import to import the selected files to the
session.
