Retrieve Data from SDM

You can retrieve data from SDM via the Explore dialog. The process is the same, whether retrieving a HyperMesh file, CAD file, solver file, or any other type of file.

  1. Open the Explore dialog from the Import Solver Deck panel, on the Select File dialog, in HyperMesh.
  2. Click the SDM repository, or add a new one, in the Explore dialog.
  3. Click Login.
    Available Simulation Disciplines are retrieved and display.
  4. Browse the data by expanding the tree to the desired objects or files or select the Type of item to search for.
  5. Enter text to search on in the Query field and select which attribute to search from the By list.
  6. Click Simple query.
    Items matching the query criteria are returned.
  7. Select the desired item(s) or file(s) to review its properties.
    You can browse the item structure and view individual files associated to items by expanding or collapsing items in the tree or by selecting Expand all from the context menu.
  8. Select a temporary folder to retrieve the files in the Select output directory field.
  9. Select the Download file types combo box, and select the file type to retrieve.
    The Download file types will show the available file types when a CAE Module is selected. Otherwise, only All files can be downloaded. Selecting an item results in all files of the selected type associated to the selected item and all files associated with the selected item's children being retrieved. Selecting individual files results in those files being retrieved. Some HyperMesh load/import options accept only single files as input. If the number of files retrieved from SDM is greater than a single file, the files will be saved in the selected output directory for manual.
  10. Click Open.
    The solver file(s) associated to the selected item, along with file(s) associated to any related items, are retrieved to the specified output directory and can now be imported into HyperMesh.
  11. Optional: To retrieve a HyperMesh file from SDM, follow the same steps as above, only use the Explore button on the Open Model dialog.
