Nastran

When importing an FE model and the By HM Comment option is selected but no HM comment cards exist, Nastran users can specify a ratio to be considered when importing Engineering Solutions entities. On import, Engineering Solutions will calculate the ratio of the number of elements to the number of properties.
  • If the calculated ratio is less than the specified ratio, all the elements are put into one component.
  • If the calculated ratio is greater than the specified ratio, one component is created for each property.

OptiStruct

When importing an FE model and the By HM Comment option is selected but no HM comment cards exist, OptiStruct users can specify a ratio to be considered when importing Engineering Solutions entities. On import, Engineering Solutions will calculate the ratio of the number of elements to the number of properties.
  • If the calculated ratio is less than the specified ratio, all the elements are put into one component.
  • If the calculated ratio is greater than the specified ratio, one component is created for each property.
