  Dear Community,
  I want to load the Occupant Model into LS Dyna to perform impact analysis on its hand. To "cut" the model I first want to load it into the LS Prepost, but when using APDL I get the following Error. I read in this forum, that many user work with THUMS and Ansys and I assume, that they dont have a problem with the .k files.
  Has anyone an idea how to solve this issue?
  Thanks!

  Hello, although I'm not very familiar with APDL, I would try moving the input file in a path that does not contain spaces, as the error indicates. Another alternative is to use LS-RUN for submitting a LS-DYNA job.
