Import Settings

fe-attached
Parts with node sharing are organized into one part if the thickness of these parts is not the same. The organization will not be executed if the thickness of these parts are the same.
Default/Allowed: ON or OFF
partName-string
Component name rule for fe-attach in addition to shared node rule. Input accepts first index through second index. The default, 0-0, or a blank value will ignore this rule and execute the share node based fe-attach function.
fe-detach
LH and RH parts will be separated. There will be two separated physical parts in case these two parts are organized into one part.
Default/Allowed: ON or OFF
importby
While importing fe data into HyperMesh creating components by reading HyperMesh Comments or by reading HyperMesh information managed in the HyperMesh file.
Default/Allowed: hmcomments or property
Include-stamping
Reads stamping result information, such as element shell thickness, from the solver deck. This information will be used for mass calculation. Property thickness will be ignored if this option is ON.
Default/Allowed: ON or OFF
dummy-thickness
Assigns a dummy thickness for the FE data. This dummy thickness is needed for CAD solid vs FE comparison in case no thickness exists from the original FE.
Default/Allowed: ON or OFF.
