The native CAD model is imported into HyperMesh along
with a user-defined parameter and criteria files in two different HyperMesh versions. CAD models are batch meshed and FE meshes are
superposed. Using advanced FE-FE comparison, any change in mesh quality are identified and
reported.
-
Click the CAD tab then the FE-FE
tab.
-
Select the current and reference solver
version.
-
Enter a Tolerance value for use in the comparison.
-
Activate any of the check boxes to assist in loading files.
Option |
Description |
Same as Criteria |
If there is more than one model file loaded in the input table,
there is no need to load the Criteria file in each row. If you activate
this check box, HVVH loads the first Criteria file in each row for all
selected input files |
Same as Parameter |
If there is more than one model file loaded in input table, there is
no need to load a Parameter file in each row. If you activate this check
box, HVVH loads the first Parameter file in each row for all selected
input files. |
BM (Batch Mesher) |
This check-box allows you to load a batch mesher session file and
executes the batch mesher. |
-
Use the Input file(s) section to load a CAD model file(s), parameter file(s)
and criteria files(s).
Tip:
- Click in the cell for each file type to
activate it. Once the cell is active, click to
display the file browser and load only selected files. You can also
add multiple files.
- Click to add a
row to the table.
- Click to
delete a row from the table.
-
Select an output directory.
The CAD models are converted into FE meshes via batch mode, using the criteria
and parameter files, in two HyperMesh sessions (also
in two different versions).
-
Click Compare.
The CAD > FE comparison report is generated for the
HyperMesh FE meshed files across different versions of
HyperMesh.
Under the Current Mesh Status
heading, click Status to return the status of the
meshing operation on the CAD model using the current HyperMesh version. In case of failure, it will
indicate the same.
Under the Reference Mesh Status heading, click
Status to return the status of the meshing
operation on the CAD model using the reference HyperMesh version. In case of failure, it will
indicate the same.
Under the Report heading, click
Report to return a report that compares the FE
model generated using the current version of HyperMesh and the FE model
generated using the reference HyperMesh version.
The report is written to a text file.
Tip:
- The message log file displays
the current status of processes in progress. Click
Status/Diff to display the respective
report. The message log file is a text file and is saved to your
output directory.
- Click Html
Report to generate an HTML report of your
session information for any number of files run through the
process.
