When importing an FE model and the By HM Comment option is selected but no HM comment cards exist, Nastran users can specify a ratio to be considered when importing Engineering Solutions entities. On import, Engineering Solutions will calculate the ratio of the number of elements to the number of properties.

•	If the calculated ratio is less than the specified ratio, all the elements are put into one component.

•	If the calculated ratio is greater than the specified ratio, one component is created for each property.
