  Hi,
  I am trying to import a meshing file into an LS-DYNA case. This dat file is from Salome. When I tried to import it, it said that it cannot read the file due to wrong file name.

  Hi
  
  The format should be similar to the Nastran deck sample below, otherwise it will not be imported in.
  (So how a Nastran file for the mesh looks or should look like (GRID for nodes etc, CHEXA for HEX8 elements, CTRIA,..etc)):
  Thank you
