Use the Conversion tool to convert a PAM-CRASH 2G file to a RADIOSS file.

1.Load the PAM-CRASH 2G user profile.
2.Import a PAM-CRASH 2G model.
3.To run the conversion macro, from the menu bar, click Tools > Convert > Pam Crash > To RADIOSS. The Conversion tab opens.
4.For Destination Template, select the destination solver version.
5.To start the conversion, click Convert. After the conversion, the RADIOSS user profile automatically loads.
6.Review and export the deck using the RADIOSS user profile. Some of the keywords in the PAM-CRASH 2G deck are converted to the RADIOSS deck as per the following tables.

The attributes converted in each KEYWORD is explained in the Conversion dialog (see below). Each keyword is associated with a color to distinguish it better.

•GREEN – All the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in RADIOSS.
•ORANGE – Only some the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in RADIOSS.
•RED – None the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in RADIOSS.  Conversion of this keyword is not supported by the conversion tool.
