How to convert a Femap Mesh in Ansys Mesh?
How to convert a Femap Mesh in Ansys Mesh?
(OP)
Hi guys, I'm a new user, from Brazil. Sorry my English...
So... I have some models created in Femap, but I need convert them in a Mesh that I can open in Ansys APDL.
Has some command for this?
Thanks...

RE: How to convert a Femap Mesh in Ansys Mesh?
you can export an analysis model in a variety of solvers (Nastran, ...) ... file/export/analysis model ... but apparently not Ansys (not at least on my FeMap).
maybe export the neutral file from Femap, and Ansys should be able to read that.
RE: How to convert a Femap Mesh in Ansys Mesh?
Thanks, but my question is how to import MESH FILE ONLY... I don't need the geometry or the final analysis, only the mesh with elements... The property or material I will can modify them in Ansys.
Now, I will explain my model...
I have a biomechanics model. It has 4 layers (4 properties and materials). I had created the model in Femap because I prefer its mesh creator and Ansys I not have much knowledge..
Now I have a solid mesh in femap that works very well, but I need import only the mesh for Ansys because the others models that was created are only Ansys...
RE: How to convert a Femap Mesh in Ansys Mesh?
the mesh is used to create the elements, the analysis model; you can export the analysis model as a neutral file and Ansys should be able to read that.

I need get this file with tet-mesh and import in ansys. I will work with it in ansys now, using other models made in ansys that will make a assemble in ansys...
RE: How to convert a Femap Mesh in Ansys Mesh?
does your FeMap have the option to export an analysis model in Ansys format, or analyze with Ansys ?
whatever you're using as your Ansys pre-processor should be able to accept a neutral file from FeMap of the existing model (anlayzed in Nastran).
RE: How to convert a Femap Mesh in Ansys Mesh?
In Femap I have only the mesh file... Can be neutral, dat or other extension... But, when I import the mesh in Ansys, the file dont accept the extension .neu...
For me, the Femap (nastran) solution is Ok, but only in femap I dont have a solution with the other files that have .db extension.
This is a pontual problem... After I will use only femap for mesh and analysis.
When I made an analysis in femap with Ansys solver, had been showed some problems... But I export (in analysis window) the analysis, and I imported the file in Ansys. I had some errors with it, but some part of mesh was ok...
I need a tutorial shows how I can import .neu in Ansys.

Use command "File > Export > Analysis Model > Other Interfaces > Ansys > OK" in th next window you will have to choose the proper revision of Ansys.
Best regards,

But, when I did the command, did not show the Ansys option, only the options seen in image...

You need to go to "File > Preferences > Interfaces" and activate the option "Enable Old Analysis Interfaces":
