importing a mesh

pietrobellezza · October 10, 2011, 05:10

hi everybody, i have an important question... i would like to import a mesh from Nastran into star-ccm because i need a particular type of mesh. So, i used the node Representation-Import-Replace surface. And now begins the problem: Star-ccm gives an error: unrecognaized command, ReimportCaeSurface.
Can you help me???
Thank you very much....

The import representation is a representation of your current geometry, no invitation to try something strange. And it is a surface representation, so you can't replace that surface representation by a volume mesh!
Go to File-Import-Import CAE Model, then you can import your Nastran mesh.
