Interfacing with Abaqus
Overview of how the HyperView applications interface with the Abaqus solver.
Reading Abaqus INP, FIL, and OBD Files
| Functionality | HyperView | |
|---|---|---|
| Animation Window | Plot Window | |
| Reads model file directly | INP, ODB | N/A |
| Reads results file directly | ODB (field) | ODB (field and history) |
| Reads translated results | FIL (hmabaqus) | FIL (hmabaqus) FIL (hgopt_abaqus.exe) |
| Supported field results (typically contoured) | FIL, ODB | ODB |
| Supported history results (typically plotted) | N/A | FIL, ODB |
