A/Flex Optimization: "Remove Internal Solid Element Geometry"

Hi all,
 
I am trying to reduce the size of my flex body and am using the A/Flex GUI. ​ I use the "Remove Internal Solid Element Geometry" option which usually works. However, ever so often it produces an .mnf with a significantly lower file size. When importing this flex body into ADAMS, only the interface nodes and it's connected elements are imported. All else is missing.
 
Is there a solution to this...Does anyone know why this happens?

  • Hi Maziar,
     
    I am using Nastran2014 to generate the .mnf.
     
    I tried the following ADAMS-Flex versions to reduce the .mnf. All behaved the same.
    ADAMS 2016
    ADAMS 2015.1
    ADAMS 2013r2
    ADAMS 2010
     
    For this latest, I generated 6 .mnf's. Two of them exhibited this issue, the others reduced no problem. Also, it has happened to me before on previous occasions.
