The following command upgrades a model database (.cae) to the current release and writes the upgraded model database to a new file.
This method upgrades an existing Mdb object to the current release and writes the upgraded version of the Mdb object to a file. In addition, Abaqus/CAE writes information about the status of the upgrade to the log file ( upgradedMdbPath.log ).
