Import Settings

fe-attached
Parts with node sharing are organized to one part if the thickness of these parts are not same. The organization will not be executed if the thickness of these parts are same.
Default/Allowed: ON or OFF
fe-dettach
LH and RH parts will be separated two separated physical part incase these two parts are organized in to one part.
Default/Allowed: ON or OFF
importby
While importing fe data in to HyperMesh creating components by reading HyperMesh Comments or by reading HyperMesh information managed in HyperMesh file.
Default/Allowed: hmcomments or property
Include-stamping
Reads stamping results information like Element shell thickness from the solver deck. This information will be used for mass calculation. Property thickness will be ignoredm if this option is ON.
Default/Allowed: ON or OFF
dummy-thickness
Assigns a dummy thickness for the FE data in case the thickness no thickness or property assigned to the part. This dummy thickness is needed for CAD solid vs FE comparison in case no thickness exist from the original FE.
