After loading the Radioss user profile and importing a
Radioss model, run the conversion macro by clicking Tools > Conversion > PAMCRASH. The Conversion tab opens.
In the Destination template field, select the destination solver version.
Click Convert to start the conversion. After conversion, the
selected version of the PAM-CRASH 2G user profile is
automatically loaded.
Review and export the deck using the PAM-CRASH 2G user
profile.
Some of the keywords in the Radioss deck are converted to the
PAM-CRASH 2G deck as per the following table:

The attributes converted in each KEYWORD is explained in the
Conversion dialog. Each keyword is associated with a color to
distinguish it better.
Green
All the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in
PAM-CRASH 2G.
Orange
Only some of the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in PAM-CRASH 2G.
Red
None of the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in PAM-CRASH 2G. Basically conversion of this keyword is not
supported by the conversion tool.
