OptiStruct Mesh Conversion

The student version of HyperMesh does not directly export ls-dyna-compatible input decks, but it does export OptiStruct format.

  1. OptiStruct_getElemNodes.m reads in the geometry from the optistruct file format.

  2. OptiStruct2DYNA.m writes this data to a .k file

The corresponding functions to go the other direction are: #. getElemNodes.m #. DYNA2OptiStruct.m

Note that these scripts only migrate the geometry and don’t maintain any other cards (contacts, part definitions, etc) through the conversion.
