Almost every modeling operation you perform while working in an Abaqus/CAE module contributes to the definition of a model in a model database. This part describes Abaqus/CAE models and model databases, the files created by the modeling process, and how you work with these models and files. The following topics are covered:

• Chapter 9, “Understanding and working with Abaqus/CAE models, model databases, and files”
