Import a Set

In order to import sets in any format, you must first load a model.
Note: You can import more than one of these files into the same session.
  1. From the Set panel, click Import.
    The Import Sets dialog is displayed.
  2. Select a file type (HyperView set definition file, Animator3 session file, LSPost set file, Patran session file, or Nastran/OptiStruct set file) from the Select format drop-down menu.
  3. Under File name, click the open folder icon and browse to the desired file which contains defined sets/groups.
  4. Click Open.
  5. Click OK in the Import Sets dialog.
    • HyperLife extracts all defined sets in the selected session file.
    • The HyperView, Animator3, LSPost, Patran, or Nastran/OptiStruct sets are listed in the Sets list.
    • By default, the visibility of each imported set is turned off.
