Importing Ansys File into IDEAS 9
Importing Ansys File into IDEAS 9
(OP)
hi,
I need to import Ansys File into IDEAS , the only options i have is .rst file ( but my ANSYS model is in the Pre-processing Stage) and the other is export the model to Hypermesh and write a Nastran Bulk Data , and then import to IDEAS . But After reading the Nastran Bulk Data file into IDEAS some elements ( Contact Elements) are not read .
What could be the problem ?
Is there any other way , i can import ansys file into IDeas?
Any Inputs are most welcome

Once I installed Ideas8 and in the meshing I could import Ideas cdb. After some month later I reinstalled ideas 8 and I got a total different import process: import from rst file! It was a surprice! Do you what was created different?
