Products: Abaqus/Standard Abaqus/Explicit
Benefits: A new translator converts an output database (.odb) file containing model and results information to a SIM database (.sim) file, allowing you to use the Physics Results Explorer app on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for high-performance postprocessing of analysis results.
Description: When you run abaqus odb2sim, errors are issued when specific data in the output database cannot be converted to the SIM database file. For example, if the output database does not have sufficient information to translate the data properly or if support is not yet implemented for particular output in the SIM format, an error will be issued. The translator will not stop for most errors; however, in rare cases, it will stop (without saving the SIM database file) with a fatal error.
