Use the Conversion tool to convert an Abaqus explicit file to a RADIOSS file.
1. | Load the Abaqus Explicit user profile. |
2. | Import an Abaqus Explicit model. |
3. | To run the conversion macro, from the menu bar, select Tools > Convert > Abaqus > To Radioss. The Abaqus to Radioss Conversion tab opens. |
4. | For Source template, select the source solver version. |
5. | For Destination Template, select the destination solver version. |
6. | To start the conversion, click Convert. After the conversion, the selected version of the RADIOSS user profile automatically loads. |
7. | Review and export the deck using the RADIOSS user profile. Some of the keywords in the Abaqus (explicit) deck are converted to the RADIOSS deck as per the tables below. |
