How hypermesh handle CATIA CAD format in import?
Hi, I get a question on importing CATIA CAD format. How is hypermesh handle it internally? Is it add a middle step to convert CATIA into Step, then import it into Hypermesh? Thanks

Hi Vitor, The problem is most likely due to the application of the moments in your model. A solid element has only 3 translational and no rotational dofs, In FEA we then need to work around the above...
