HyperMesh
Drawing > Plugins > Analysis with HyperMesh
Drawings and parts can be exported from HiCAD to HyperMesh.
Open the Drawing tab and select Plugins > Analysis with HyperMesh. Choose one of the following options:
- Active part (only the active part including all sub-parts will be exported to HyperMesh)
- Selected parts (only a defined part list will be exported)
- Entire drawing
The HyperWorks suite or Altair HyperMesh will be launched automatically. Depending the previous selection, the active part, a defined part list , or the entire HiCAD drawing will then be imported and opened in HyperMesh.
Please note:
Extended settings of the HyperMesh interface can be defined via the Configuration Editor (ISDConfigEditor.exe).
In the Configuration Editor, select HiCAD > Active configuration > Interfaces > HyperWorks .
Here you can change the Exchange format (for STL, CATIA VS, ACIS, Parasolid, IGES, or ProE; Default is STEP), set HyperWorks command line options and the Path to HyperWorks (hw.exe).
A prerequisite for this is that Altair HyperMesh or the HyperWorks suite has been installed on the same system as HiCAD.
