You can not have a proper geometry back from FEA model. Thought, you can extract 2D elements off the 3D element surfaces and then can have crude representation of geometry for comparison sake. (I'm an Abaqus user but I'm pretty sure it works same for Ansys as well).
A question: Why you want to...
Several ways:
1.You could just merge nodes, but that would be connecting edge of a shell part with solid part.
2.Standard practice is to embed two rows of shell elements into the solid, a) either by giving very small thickness or b) same thickness.
3.If there is a weld or other kind of...
First of all it depends on what you want to do and what solver you are using? Hypermesh is just an interface to help you with that.
Secondly, I only know Abaqus as a solver so I can help you out with that.
Write some more details.
Agree with rb1957 and IceBreakerSours.
Follow these general guidelines for Slave/Master and you should be fine:
1. Coarser (mesh)-stiffer should be master.
2. Rigid must be master.
Try it.
I was expecting two scopes to be inverse of each other. So as LiteYear suggested if you merge this two scopes you should get a constant ( in this case 1) output.
My guess is, you need to add something to refresh the else trigger, I could be totally off!
If you want to move/copy elements to new component:
- Create a comopnent collector.
- Go to organise panel (or Shift+F11)
- Select elements and move to 'dest' component.
If you want create a element set:
- Go to Analysis --> Entity Set
- Give a name for Element set
- Pick 'elem' from drop down...
Hi all,
I'm new to Full-body/BIW FEA (have done FEA on other components before) and have observed at-least three different customers with little variation in their FE representation of connectors, most commonly I have seen following:
Spot/Seam weld: RBE3-Hexa-RBE3 ( ACM2 model)...

You need to repharse everything, can't understand a word!
- If you want mesh information on .imp file than everything is there.
- Do you have access to any kind of GUI ?( Hypermesh/AbaqusCAE etc)
Thanks everyone.
Moving into defense is not an option for me as of now because of security clearance and all. The problem with automotive industry is it's too unstable.
'Glory' etc does not feature in my wish list. What I want in life is to have good time at work for as long as I work and earn...
Thanks everyone.
Greg, it's kind of scary to think that there is not clear career path for FEA engineers, After all everyone wants to grow and earn more money as needs are also going to change over the time( wedding and kids and house and blah balh!)
Secondly, I've noticed that managers are...
I have been working as an Analysis Engineer for little over 4 years now. All this experience is in Automotive/heavy machinery domain. Even though I like what I do, it feels very monotonous now, I often wonder what upward direction I can take from here.
Any suggestions regarding...
Did you go through HM tutorials? if not please do it, it's very simple, will take half hour(connector tutorial, 10 mins for bolt tutorial) and does exactly the same thing which you are asking.
C:\Altair\hw10.1\help\hm\hmbat.htm
Bascially, go to HM help on your dirve and Hypermesh > Hypermesh...
